Druvor

Cabernet Sauvignon 68%, Merlot 25%, Petit Verdot 5%, Cabernet Franc 2%

Tasting note

Medium to pale ruby red in color. Aromas are of restrained dark-fruit. The palate displays some ripe black-fruits is of mid to light weight. Fine tannins on the mid-palate have good grip, combned with the wine's light structure it leaves it a little angular. Alcohol and acidity are both in balance and the finish has nice equilibrium and passable balance. 

The wine team - Château Ferrière 

Owned by Claire Villars-Lurton, this 18-hectare estate was long rented out to Château Lascombes. Reconstituted as an independent entity in 1992, fully one-third of the vineyards are over 70 years old, including four hectares of very old vine Merlot that make an important contribution to the blend. Farming is certified organic and biodynamic, and the estate's clay-rich gravels and old vines naturally deliver a rich, fleshy, rather powerful but structurally refined style of Margaux. It's an address that deserves to be much better known, and the 2019 has turned out brilliantly.

Vissa mycket fina, potentiellt långlivade viner, särskilt i Médoc, även om robusta tanninnivåer påminner om 86.orna i många fall.
