Imbued with the elegant complexity of a well-aged Bordeaux, the Ferrand 2010 is truly a distinguishing choice for devout oenophiles. This unique vintage hails from the prestigious Saint-Émilion region, known for yielding the world's finest Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes. Explicit attention to the winemaking tradition is the bedrock of Ferrand's reputation. Each grape cluster is handpicked, meticulously sorted, and fermented in temperature-controlled concrete tanks, then aged for 18 months in oak barrels. Through this intricate process, Ferrand 2010 develops its sophisticated character, offering a nuanced bouquet of blackcurrants, licorice, and truffle, wrapped in pleasant tannins that speak to its impressive ageing potential. Reflecting the excellence of its producer, Château de Ferrand, a Grand Cru Classé since 2012, Ferrand 2010 has alluring depth and a characteristically long finish, making it a sublime choice for discerning wine enthusiasts. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (88)The 2014 de Ferrand is bold, powerful and juicy. There is not much subtlety here. Even so, the 2014 packs a real punch and offers plenty of intensity in a bold, rustic style. Black cherry, plum, bittersweet chocolate, cloves, menthol and a generous slathering of oak build into the opulent finish. This is in a powerful, extracted style, but there is enough balance to make the wine well worth seeking out. It would be interesting to see what the wine might taste like with less oak and a gentler approach to vinification. Tasted two times. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (90)The 2015 de Ferrand has developed nicely since I last tasted it. Succulent red cherry, blood orange, cinnamon, sweet French oak, cedar and new leather add nuance to the plummy, voluptuous fruit. Open-knit, silky and sensual in the glass, the 2015 has much to recommend it. This is an in especially juicy, open-knit style, and yet all the elements are in the right place. More importantly, the 2015 has gained a bit more volume and depth in its aging. My impression remains that de Ferrand could be an even more impressive and complete wine. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (93)The 2016 de Ferrand is a gorgeous and wonderfully complete wine. Aromatic and yet also deep on the palate, with superb balance, the 2016 is going to be impossible to resist, even in the early going. Sweet red cherry, plum, French oak, rose petal, mint, spice and pomegranate all run through this silky, open-knit Saint-Émilion. There is so much to like in this plush yet understated, classy Saint-Émilion. Tasted two times. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (92+)The 2019 de Ferrand is built on energy and vibrancy. It offers perhaps a bit less immediacy than many wines in this vintage, but a good deal of potential. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, mint, tobacco, blood orange, cinnamon and cedar give the 2019 its palpable sense of energy. I would give the 2019 a few years to come together. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (87)The 2020 Château de Ferrand has retained its "breezy" bouquet with upfront, red cherries, raspberry coulis and floral scents; orange zest is hiding in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins. As I found previously, it feels a bit rigid and needs more flair on its briny finish. Not bad at all, but I feel this could have been better. |
