Ferriere 2018 Margaux 3eme Grand Cru Classé
"Chateau Ferrière was certified organic in 2015 and biodynamic in 2018. It is one of the rare Classified Growths to be biodynamic certified, not only in its vineyard, but also in the cellar. Ferrière develops its own wild yeast starter culture, avoids any input during vinification and limits the addition of sulfur to the strict minimum. 20% of the wine is aged in small ovoid concrete vats, developed by the property in 2012, and the biggest part of the ageing takes place in oak barrels. Born of this approach are wines that are more mineral, fresh and vibrant that fully express the terroir, without embellishment nor artifice. Château Ferriere 2018, is a superb wine, with a beautiful muscular intensity. A texture that remains very silky, with round and integrated tannins. A beautiful vivacity on the attack." In other words, a great Margaux but a long decant is advised if drinking now...
