The 2025 Ferrière was picked from 5 to 19 September, and this year includes a slightly higher percentage of Petit Verdot. It is matured in 35% new barrels and 30% in ovoid concrete tanks/amphora. This has a delightful, well-defined bouquet with iris flower and subtle undergrowth scents, plenty of black fruit, yet it feels streamlined and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, silky smooth in texture, a keen line of acidity and more minéralité on the finish compared to its Margaux “sibling”, La Gurgue. This is a delicious Margaux that will be approachable in its youth but will age in bottle. Just 12.7% alcohol here. Drinking range: 2030 - 2055 Rating: 91-93 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (May 2026)

A refined texture, with red currants, cherries and bark on a medium body with fine and caressing tannins and a long, bright finish. Firm and crunchy at the end. A blend of 66% cabernet sauvignon, 24% merlot, 6% petit verdot and 4% cabernet franc. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Rating: 94-95 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Apr 2026)

The 2025 Ferrière is laced with dark blueberry fruit, crème de cassis, lavender, menthol and licorice. Inky and unctuous in feel, with striking mid-palate sweetness, the 2025 is a total charmer. The blend is 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc, including all 6 hectares of old-vine Merlot. Yields were just 25 hectoliters per hectare. Firm chocolatey tannins support the finish. There's a lot of substance here, and good potential too. Drinking range: 2035 - 2065 Rating: 90-92 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Apr 2026)

Château Ferrière

Margaux Troisième cru 1855 The Ferrière family owned their eponymous estate from its origins in the 18th Century right up until 1914. During the 20th Century, Château Ferrière's star fell considerably with the vineyard leased to Alexis Lichine and the wine made at Château Lascombes, and Château Ferrière was rarely seen or known outside France. Ferrière was purchased by the Taillan Group (who own, among others, Gruaud-Larose and Chasse-Spleen) in 1988, and the story since then has been of continued improvement. The connection with Château Lascombes was ended and all wines are made at Château Ferrière now. Château Ferrière is the smallest of the Cru Classé estates, with just 8ha of vines dispersed around the centre of Margaux village. 80% are Cabernet Sauvignon, with 15% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. The Grand Vin spends 18 months in wood (60% new). Both in terms of quality and availability, Château Ferrière is unrecognisable from where it was a few short years ago. Classic, gently assertive Margaux and excellent value for money.
