"Ripe red fruit, jammed plum and some herbal notes with mild oak, medium bodied with supple red fruit a tannic grip with medium long finish."

92 Points - Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, The Wine Advocate
"A blend of 78% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot, the 2020 Ferran is aging for 12 months in French oak barrels, 30% new. The alcohol is 14%. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, it features fragrant notes of kirsch, preserved plums, boysenberries and raspberry coulis, plus hints of spice cake, licorice and garrigue with a waft of cracked black pepper. The medium-bodied palate is elegant and spicy, offering a soft texture and seamless freshness, finishing savory."

Direct import from France

Robert de Ferran, solicitor at the Bordeaux Parliament, gave his name to this vineyard followed by Montesquieu, philosopher winegrower, owner of the domaine in the 18th century. This terroir has always produced red and white wines which were then known as 'Premiers Graves Martillac'. The property has belonged to another old Bordelais family since 1880, and today the descendants of Joseph Beraud-Sudreau, Philippe and Ghislane Lacoste, have been managing the estate since 1999.

A lot of work has been done in recent years to restructure the vineyard and renovate the cellars which have resulted in numerous medals and good scores given by wine writers, particularly during the en primeur tastings.
