critic reviews
The 2023 Ferrière has a well-defined bouquet with blackberry, wild hedgerow and light iris flower scents that is nicely focused. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chalky tannins, touches of black tea infusing the black fruit, with a healthy pinch of black pepper on the finish. This is worth seeking out.
This is one of the best Ferrieres for years, with waves of blackberry, cassis, fennel, anis, liqourice root, all sweet and pure and intense, with velvety tannins. Great stuff. 40hl/h yield, 3.79ph, harvest Septemboer 13 to october 2, highest yields for for 12 years, 40% new oak for ageing overall, along with concrete eggs, touch of amphoras.
The 2023 Ferriere is a strong effort, bursting with aromas of dark berries, spices and boot polish, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered palate with a broad attack, good depth at the core and sweet structuring tannins. It's a blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 3.5% Petit Verdot and a touch of Cabernet Franc.
