With its 24 Ha, Chateau Ferrière is one of the smallest Grand Cru Classés of the 1855 classification. The terroir, located in Margaux, has been owned by the Villars-Merlaut family since 1988. The wine of the same name is their first wine which they age on 40% new French oak, 40% on first year oak d and 20% in (clay) amphorae in order to obtain and maintain the optimal fruit expression.
The Château Ferrière Margaux Grand Cru Classé has an explosive nose with complex layers of black fruit, tobacco, mint, and leather framed with red fruit blends. The mouth is full and powerful and the finish is very long with beautiful elegant tannins, characteristic of this vintage. A great vintage that remains classic through its elegance. It is a real power wine that can certainly use some years to develop further and if you can control yourself then this is a wine that will give a fantastic glass for decades.

April 2023 Week 1, The Wine Advocate
A serious, structured vintage, the 2020 Ferrière unwinds in the glass with aromas of sweet cherries, berries and plums mingled with raw cocoa and violets. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with excellent concentration and plenty of powdery tannin that asserts itself on the youthfully firm finish. This blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon and 27% Merlot, derived from a very high proportion of old vines, is a real success, but it will require patience.

From: Bordeaux 2020: Saving the Best for Last (Feb 2023)
The 2020 Ferrière is tremendous. Dark fruit, lavender, gravel, incense and dark spice are some of the many notes that develop. A wine of vertical, explosive energy, Ferrière is fabulous. The tannins are bruising today, so readers will have to be patient, but all the ingredients are there for the 2020 to be superb. There is a feeling of unrestrained wildness in the Ferrière that is hugely appealing.

From: 2020 Bordeaux En Primeur: Almost Back to Normal (Jun 2021)
The 2020 Ferrière is a powerhouse. Gravel, scorched earth, licorice, cloves, lavender and inky dark fruit saturate the palate. A virile, potent wine, Ferrière shows the more virile side of Margaux off to great effect. Readers will find a wine of tremendous gravitas. Aging is 40% in new oak, 40% in one year barrels and 20% in concrete tanks.

Chateau Ferriere is after Chateau Pouget one of the smallest Gr. Cru Classés of the 1855 classification. The terroir, located in Margaux, has been in the hands of the Villars-Merlaut family since 1988 and it is Claire Villars (also owner of Chateau Haut Bages Libéral), who is married to Gonzague Lurton (Chateau Durfort Vivens ), who vinifies the wine there. A new cuverie has been in service since 2013 and since millésime 2015 the wine is certified organic. Chateau Ferrière owns 18 hectares of vineyards in Margaux.
In 1992 the first volume was created by his daughter Bernadette Villars-Merlaut. Jacques Merlaut and his family were also the owners of Château Chasse-Spleen, La Gurgue, Haut-Bages Liberale and wine trading company Ginestet. After the death of her parents and the division of the inheritance within the family, Claire Villars took over the wine production from her mother. Claire now owns 4 domaines in the Medoc:
- Château Haut-Bages-Liberale (5th Cru class Pauillac)
- Château Ferriere (3rd Cru class Margaux)
- Château La Gurgue (in the top 10 of typical Margaux wines - nominated by a committee of 50 experts)
- Château Domeyne (Cru Bourgeois, Saint-Estèphe)
The harvest is picked by hand, after which vinification takes place in stainless steel vats equipped with a thermal regularization system. The maceration lasts about 20 days. The 2nd fermentation takes place in barrels. Furthermore, the wine rests from 16 to 18 months in oak barrels, including 60% new oak. The wine is clarified with proteins. Grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon (57%), Merlot (34%), Cabernet Franc (3%) and Petit Verdot (6%). The average age of the vines is 45 years.
