🍷 Tasting notes

Ferrière 2018 is made from 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc , and vinified with great precision: the plots are fermented separately in concrete, wood and amphora, and then matured for 18 months – partly in new French barrels and in amphora to preserve freshness.

The color is dark ruby ​​red with violet tones. The nose opens with intense aromas of blackcurrant, cherry and blackberry , followed by layers upon layers of violets, leather, spices, cedar, graphite and dark cocoa .

In the mouth it is full-bodied and silky , with ripe tannins, fine acidity and an elegant mineral structure. The palate unfolds with plums, blueberries and dark cherries , flanked by subtle spices and a discreet sweetness from the barrel.

🍽️ Serving suggestions

Ferrière 2018 is a versatile wine that pairs beautifully with classic dishes of beef, lamb or game – preferably with herbs, mushrooms or red wine sauce. It also works excellently with grilled vegetables and mature cheeses.

🕰️ Storage potential

Ready to drink after an hour of decanting, but will develop further over the next 10–15 years. A safe choice for both Bordeaux nerds and curious beginners who want to experience Margaux at its most classic and nuanced.
