About this wine

The second wine of Château de Ferrand, offering a more approachable expression of this historic Right Bank property. It shows ripe plum and blackberry fruit, with touches of spice, cedar and soft earthy notes. The palate is supple and balanced, with rounded tannins and a fresh finish. The soft tannins, dark fruit and gentle spice make it particularly good with dishes that combine savoury richness and a touch of earthy flavour — mushrooms, slow-cooked meats and roasted vegetables all work beautifully. Château de Ferrand sits on the limestone plateau on the eastern side of Saint‑Émilion and dates back to the early 18th century. The estate was founded in 1702 by Elie de Bétoulaud, a lawyer and poet at the court of Louis XIV. Today it is owned by the Bich family (also known for the Bic company) and has undergone extensive vineyard and cellar investment over the past two decades, helping the property secure its place among the classified Grand Cru estates of Saint-Émilion.
