Critics’ scores and tasting notes
“A very good wine for the vintage. This has medium to full body, nice concentration and tight, fine-grained tannins with grip and length. A lot purer than 2022, as this doesn’t have that lactic note anymore. 57% cabernet sauvignon, 38% merlot and 5% cabernet franc. From biodynamically grown grapes.”
Château Ferrière joined the Merlaut family at the end of the 1980s. Bernadette Merlaut-Villars undertook its revival; her daughter Claire Villars-Lurton continued this work, gradually moving the vineyard towards organic and then biodynamic viticulture. The estate’s 24 hectares lie in the heart of Margaux, on deep gravel over limestone marl. A significant proportion of the vines dates back to the early 1950s. This old vine heritage, comprising Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, is also preserved through massal selection. Certified organic in 2015 and then biodynamic in 2018, Ferrière applies this approach from vineyard to cellar. Fermentations rely on naturally occurring yeasts, and extraction is deliberately moderate. Ageing combines barrels and egg-shaped vats in raw concrete, so as not to impose a uniform oak imprint on the different lots. The wines of Château Ferrière show a lively expression of fruit, a precise texture and mineral freshness. The concentration unfolds without excess, carried by fine tannins and a lingering finish. This identity reflects the choice of measured intervention and the character of the Margaux soils.
