Château Ferrand Lartigue 2010

The wine

The property's sandy soil produces a powerful, very fragrant wine with an intense colour. The bouquet combining ripe fruit and woody notes, and a fine structure with plump tannins, make this a fairly well-balanced wine. Keep five to ten years before drinking.

About the Producer Château de Ferrand (Saint-Emilion)

The history of Château de Ferrand begins in the 18th century, and it has belonged to only two different families throughout its wine growing activity. Purchased in 1978 by famous businessman Baron Bich, the estate is now run by his daughter Pauline and her husband Philippe Chandon-Moët. They’ve been taking care of things since 2005, and together they’ve modernised much of the estate, including the winery which now places the grapes in vats with the help of gravity.
Located on the limestone plateau of Saint-Hippolyte, Château de Ferrand has 32 hectares of vines surrounded by 10 hectares of biodiverse forest and land. 70% of the vines are Merlot, with 29% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon keeping them company. Their sustainable viticulture is confirmed by a Terra Vitis certificate in 2012, and organic certification was awarded in 2024.
In the cellar, single-parcel vinification is prioritised and the wines are matured for 14 to 18 months, in a balance of new wood and used casks.
