Tasting notes
The 2025 Ferrière was picked from 5 to 19 September, and this year includes a slightly higher percentage of Petit Verdot. It is matured in 35% new barrels and 30% in ovoid concrete tanks/amphora. This has a delightful, well-defined bouquet with iris flower and subtle undergrowth scents, plenty of black fruit, yet it feels streamlined and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, silky smooth in texture, a keen line of acidity and more minéralité on the finish compared to its Margaux “sibling”, La Gurgue. This is a delicious Margaux that will be approachable in its youth but will age in bottle. Just 12.7% alcohol here.

A refined texture, with red currants, cherries and bark on a medium body with fine and caressing tannins and a long, bright finish. Firm and crunchy at the end. A blend of 66% cabernet sauvignon, 24% merlot, 6% petit verdot and 4% cabernet franc. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification.
The 2025 Ferrière is laced with dark blueberry fruit, crème de cassis, lavender, menthol and licorice. Inky and unctuous in feel, with striking mid-palate sweetness, the 2025 is a total charmer. The blend is 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc, including all 6 hectares of old-vine Merlot. Yields were just 25 hectoliters per hectare. Firm chocolatey tannins support the finish. There's a lot of substance here, and good potential too.
