  "67 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 27 % Merlot, 5 % Petit Verdot, 1 % Cabernet Franc, pH 3.64, 13.7 Vol.-%, 24 hl/ha. Herrliches Parfüm nach reifen Schattenmorellen, frischem tasmanischem Bergpfeffer, erkaltetem Waldfrüchtetee und getrockneten Fliederblüten. Am komplexen, gut strukturierten Gaumen mit cremiger Textur, engmaschigem Tanninkorsett und durchtrainiertem Körper. Im konzentrierten Finale eine Explosion von blauen Beeren, dunkler Graphit und erhabene Adstringenz. Das ist einer der besten Ferrière, den ich je Primeur verkosten durfte. Bravo Claire Villars!"

  "Gorgeous fragrance of roses and milk chocolate, expressive, alive and inviting. Round and supple, generous flavours of blackcurrant, black cherry and strawberry. Compete and well textured, tannins are super fine and so well integrated, just giving a touch of grip and support to the fruit and high acidity. Well controlled, gentle, confident but not showy at all with a lovely energy and push from start to finish. Lovely texture and juiciness, pretty and so still with structure. Doesn’t have so much concentration and overt power but really delivers a gorgeous, sculpted, precise, refined glass of wine with so much energy and dynamism. Excellent, stony mineral finish too and such a long length. You could drink this today. 1% Cabernet Franc completes the blend. 75-80% grand vin production. 3.64pH. A yield of 24hl/ha. Ageing: 18 months, 35% in new oak barrels, 35% in barrels of one wine."

  "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feine schwarze Waldbeeren, Herzkirschen, ein Hauch von Brombeeren und Lakritze, zart nach Tabak und Orangenzesten, einladendes Bukett. Stoffig, feiner Cassis, straff, frischer Säurebogen, sehr lebendig, rotbeerige Nuancen, Kirschen im Abgang, salziger Nachhall, zeigt gute Länge, dezente Süße im Rückgeschmack."

  "This has a powerful edge, giving a distinctive character of the 2022 vintage. Delivers expansion through the mid palate, saline-streaked on the finish, an impressive vintage of Ferrière. 35% new oak for 18 months."

  "Dusty spices with a lactic touch to the deep black fruit. Full-bodied and rich, this shows plenty of blackberries and dark chocolate lingering in a structured yet lengthy finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink from 2027."

  Wine Enthusiast
  "A fine wine that shows great pedigree and density. The wine's dominance of Cabernet Sauvignon, with black currant aroma and black plum flavors, shows great potential. Drink from 2028. Organic and biodynamic. "

  "The intense floral display is what you initially notice. From there, everything gets even better on the palate with all of its energetic red fruits, spices, and silky-tannins, finishing with its display of vibrant fruits. Drink from 2027-2047."

  "Another delicious, up-front, textured Margaux in the vintage, the 2022 Château Ferrière boasts a deep purple hue as well as red, blue, and black fruits, some leather, smoked meat, and leafy herb nuances, medium to full body, and just a charming, round, mouth-filling style that's going to drink well right out of the gate. I tasted this during my trip to Bordeaux and rated it 89-91, but a sample shipped to me later showed considerably better (either that or I clearly mis-rated it in April), and I've updated the rating accordingly."
