Château Ferrière 2022

Couleur noire. Nez intense, au fruité mûr, avec des nuances complexes. La bouche évoque le jus de raisin velouté et savoureux. Après un milieu plein, apparaît une trame fine et séveuse suivie d'une grande longueur. C'est très bon. Assemblage : 67 % cabernet sauvignon, 27 % merlot, 5 % petit verdot, 1 % cabernet franc. Degré d’alcool : 13°7 - pH : 3,64. Rendement bas de 24 hl/ha, essentiellement dû à de vieilles vignes peu productrices. Vin biologique et biodynamique. Avril 2023.

Gorgeous fragrance of roses and milk chocolate, expressive, alive and inviting. Round and supple, generous flavours of blackcurrant, black cherry and strawberry. Compete and well textured, tannins are super fine and so well integrated, just giving a touch of grip and support to the fruit and high acidity. Well controlled, gentle, confident but not showy at all with a lovely energy and push from start to finish. Lovely texture and juiciness, pretty and so still with structure. Doesn’t have so much concentration and overt power but really delivers a gorgeous, sculpted, precise, refined glass of wine with so much energy and dynamism. Excellent, stony mineral finish too and such a long length. You could drink this today. 1% Cabernet Franc completes the blend. 75-80% grand vin production. 3.64pH. A yield of 24hl/ha. Ageing: 18 months, 35% in new oak barrels, 35% in barrels of one wine. Drinking window: 2028 - 2049. Georgina Hindle. April 2023.

67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, 1% Cabernet Franc Schöne Intensität des Bouquets mit Noten von schwarzen Johannisbeeren, Heidelbeeren und Minze. Gute Spannung am Gaumen, wo der Wein elegant ist und von kompakten, strukturierenden Tanninen unterstützt wird. Ein mundender, saftiger und ausdrucksvoller Wein mit langanhaltendem Finale. Die Tannine müssen sich noch entfalten, dafür werden sie in den kommenden Jahren Zeit haben. 2027-2038. Dezember 2024.

A fine wine that shows great pedigree and density. The wine's dominance of Cabernet Sauvignon, with black currant aroma and black plum flavors, shows great potential. Drink from 2028. Organic and biodynamic. Roger Voss. January 2025.

Dusty spices with a lactic touch to the deep black fruit. Full-bodied and rich, this shows plenty of blackberries and dark chocolate lingering in a structured yet lengthy finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink from 2027. Zekun Shuai. February 2025.

A blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot and the balance Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, the 2022 Ferrière offers up aromas of dark berries, plums and sweet soil tones, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and layered palate that's suave, elegantly muscular and lively. From biodynamically farmed clay-rich gravels, this 18-hectare estate (formerly leased to Château Lascombes) possesses an unusually high proportion of old vines, with fully one-third of their vineyards over 70 years of age. 92-94/100. William Kelley. April 2023.
