Château Ferriere is a small Third Growth estate located within the commune of Margaux on Bordeaux’s left bank. Their 8 hectare vineyard is located in the very centre of the village with very classic Margaux soil, deep Garonne gravel over Chalk Marl.
At the end of the 17th century, Mister Gabriel Ferriere, a renowned ship-broker, acquires this cru, located in the heart of Margaux vineyards and gives it his family name. Royal brokers from father to son, the Ferriere family works for Louis the XVth in particular and wants to produce a great wine, for their several receptions. Two centuries later, Château Ferriere’s owners were proud to see the property ranked as a third Classified Growth. At the end of the 1980s, after almost 300 years in the Ferriere family, another Bordeaux family, the Merlaut, became owner. Bernadette Merlaut-Villars devoted herself to restoring the Château to its former glory.
Their vineyard is planted with 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. The wine is aged for 16-18 months in oak barrels, 60% of the barrels are new each vintage. The estate is officially organic, and biodynamic as of 2017. Their wines are recognised for their elegance and classic Margaux style.
