2005 Chateau Ferriere, Margaux

Winemaker Notes The 2005 vintage has produced a wine with an out‐ standing balance.    The beautiful color is purple, dark and shiny. The nose is still very reserved and elegant with notes of black fruits and blond tobacco.  The palate is powerful and structured, giving the impression of a great freshness. The final is long and elegant. About Winery Gabriel Ferriere, a well-known broker in Bordeaux in the 18th century was the founder of this estate. Chateau Ferriere was classified a third growth in 1855. The Villars family bought the vineyards and the chateau in 1988 and took over the viticulture and winemaking. With its 10 hectares, Chateau Ferriere is one of the smallest classified growths. The vineyard is maily located in Margaux, and the soil consists of very deep gravel on limestone marl. The size of the vineyard, combined with its beautiful terroir, make Chateau Ferriere a rare and highly-valued wine. Claire Villars Luton is responsible for the revival of this estate. Year after
