2005 Château Ferrière, Margaux, Bordeaux
Ready, but will keep
The soil here is classic Margaux with very deep Garonne gravel over Chalk Marl, the perfect soil for Cabernet Sauvignon. It is this superb terroir that led to the Château being awarded 3rd Growth Status in the famous 1855 classification of the Mèdoc. The vineyard is planted with 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot.
The wine is aged for sixteen to eighteen months in oak barrels, 60% of the barrels are new each vintage.
