L'avis des experts

James Suckling:

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.

Decanter:

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.

The Wine Advocate:

The 2022 Ferrière offers up aromas of cassis, blackberries and cherries framed by hints of cigar box and leather. Medium to full-bodied, rich and textural, it's layered and creamy, with powdery tannins and ripe acids, concluding with a plummy, somewhat lactic finish.

Wine Enthusiast:

93-95 Barrel sample. This is a fine, structured wine with the majority of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend giving tannins, perfume and spice. The wine's juicy character is moderated by the fine black-currant fruits. Organic and biodynamic.

Falstaff:

Deep dark ruby garnet colour with opaque core and purple reflections, delicate brightening on the rim. Fine black forest berries, heart cherries, hints of blackberries and liquorice, subtle hints of tobacco and orange zest, inviting bouquet. Textured, fine cassis, taut, fresh acidity, very lively, nuances of red berries, cherries on the finish, salty echo, shows good length, subtle sweetness in the aftertaste.
