Château de Ferrand - Saint-Émilion Grand Cru - Red - 2019 - 375 ml :

 

The Refined Elegance of Château de Ferrand Grand Cru Classé

Château de Ferrand, a prestigious Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé, is a historic 18th-century estate situated on an elevated clay-limestone plateau. It perfectly embodies the refined style of Bordeaux’s Right Bank, delivering a wine of superb power, elegance, and aromatic depth. The Bich family (of Bic pen notoriety) has stewarded the property since 1978, initiating a quality revolution that includes a shift to organic viticulture and significant winery modernization.

Tasting Notes: Aromatic Finesse and Cellar Potential

This Saint-Émilion is noted for its aromatic precision and profound structure. Its Merlot-dominant blend ensures a luxurious, velvety mouthfeel, beautifully framed by the fresh, firm structure of the Cabernet Franc. It is a wine destined for the cellar.

• Colour: Deep, brilliant garnet.
• Nose: Intense and layered, with dominant black fruit (plums, blackberry), moving to sophisticated notes of cedar, tobacco, vanilla, and a mineral graphite edge.
• Palate: Rich and full, with a seamless, velvety texture. The tannins are beautifully integrated, providing a powerful yet remarkably silky structure. Flawless balance and a very long finish with lingering spice.

Serving & Pairing

For optimal enjoyment, serve at 17°C. We strongly advise decanting younger vintages for up to two hours to fully unlock the wine’s complex bouquet.

Recommended Pairings:

• Traditional Sunday Roast Lamb with Rosemary and Garlic.
• Rich Venison or Game Pie.
• A selection of fine, strong English cheeses (e.g., Mature Cheddar, Stilton).
