The Exceptional Terroir of Gabriel Ferrière

The vineyards lie in the town of Margaux. The soil is composed of deep Garonne gravel and limestone marl. The richness of the soil allow the production of wines of exceptional quality. The grape varieties are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cot, Carménère, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Cabernet Sauvignon grows in the majority of the vineyard and gives the wine its powerful structure, aromatic bouquet, and great aging potential. Merlot is used in the blends to bring roundness to the wines. The vineyard contains 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc. The vinification process of The Château Ferrière takes place in oak and concrete tanks. The wines are then matured between 18 months in French oak barrels and develop complex flavours of fruit and spices. It is a true blend of great elegance, freshness and fine tannins. Gabriel Ferrièr vineyards and winery have recently converted to biodynamic practices and are certified by both Demeter and Biodyvin.
