2017 | Château Ferrière | Margaux

Ferriere 2017 presents aromas of red fruits and floral notes, bright and fresh. On the palate, the tannins are fine and refined. A beautiful fruity freshness makes the wine very pleasant and digestible!

Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: This much-improved Lurton-owned estate has produced a richly structured wine. Firm and toasty it has the fruit weight to age well. The rich structure needs to soften, so drink the wine from 2024.

• VertdeVin: The nose is fruity and offers a small power/concentration and a fine grain. It reveals notes of blackberry, ripe strawberry and small notes of cassis associated with fine touches of small red berries as well as fine hints of violet/cornflower, fine hints of liquorice and sweet spices. The mouth is fruity, juicy, well-balanced and offers a juicy/acidulous frame and gourmandize. On the mouth this wine expresses notes of juicy/acidulous blackberry, red berries and small notes of raspberry associated with fine touches of violet, fine hints of liquorice as well as discreet hints of sweet spices. Tannins are structuring. A hint of tobacco, tonka bean and liquorice on the persistence.

Producer Information

Château Ferrière is a wine estate in the Bordeaux appellation of Margaux. It makes Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant red blends and was named a Third Growth estate in the 1855 classification of the Médoc and Graves. It has 18 hectares (44 acres) under vine, mostly within the village of Margaux itself, making it one of the smallest of the classed growths. The estate was founded and named for Gabriel Ferrière, a member of the court of King Louis XV and wine broker in Bordeaux during the 18th Century. The Ferrière family owned the property until 1914, after which it changed hands a number of times and, for several decades in the middle of the 20th Century, the wine was entirely vinified at Château Lascombes. In 1988, it was bought by the Villars family who own several other wine estates including Château Haut-Bages Libéral in Pauillac. Significant renovations to modernize the winemaking facilities were undertaken in 2013. The vineyard is planted in soils with deeply set gravel deposits from the nearby Garonne river set above limestone marl. The majority is given to Cabernet Sauvignon vines with some Merlot and small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. A second wine is made from a 2-ha (5-acre) plot of younger vines, labeled Ramparts de Ferrière.
