Tasting notes
The 2025 Ferran has a delightful bouquet with pretty blackberry and raspberry fruit, slightly floral in style. The palate is medium-bodied with very lithe tannins. Nicely balanced, quite tensile, a little tight on the finish, but I appreciate the finesse. Far better than the previous vintage, this is recommended.

Deep purple-hued, the 2025 Château Ferran opens with rock-solid purity in its notes of juicy black cherry, framboise, flowers, and chocolate. Based on 69% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Petit Verdot that's being raised in 25% new French oak with the balance in once-used barrels, it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a pure, concentrated mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a good finish.
The 2025 Ferran is juicy and explosive in the glass. A burst of inky red/purplish fruit hits the palate first, followed by touches of gravel, white pepper, dried flowers, lavender and mocha. This has real potential and should be a terrific value.
