Medium to deep ruby-red color. The nose is a classic combination of cedar & cassis. The cassis fruit on the nose is supported by good fresh acidity. The tannins provide some grip & cedary notes overlay the more redcurrant-natured mid-palate. The wine is fresh & lively rather than concentrated. Alcohol is balanced, there is some bitterness on the finish that gives the wine good length & adds an extra dimension at the end.

Producer Information

Chteau Ferrire 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 Mdoc 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 Ferrire, a member of the court of King Louis XV and wine broker in Bordeaux during the 18th Century. The Ferrire 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 Chteau Lascombes. In 1988, it was bought by the Villars family who own several other wine estates including Chteau Haut-Bages Libral 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 Ferrire.
