Chateau Ferriere Margaux Grand Cru Classe

Chateau Ferriere is located in the Margaux (Margaux) production area of Bordeaux, France. It is also a winery with a long history dating back to the 18th century, and was rated as a third growth in the Bordeaux 1855 classification.

In the 18th century, a royal official named Gabriel Ferriere founded a winery and named it after his own surname, which is now Chateau Ferriere (Phili Winery). For more than 100 years since then, the estate has been under the management of the Ferriere family, and it has also developed and grown in their hands, successfully winning the title of third-growth village. In 1913, Armand Feuillerat, the owner of Chateau Marquis de Terme (De Damon Marquis Manor), acquired Chateau Ferriere, and then his daughter Andre Durand inherited the winery. Since 1952, Andre Durand's heirs have leased the winery to Alexis Lichine, then owner of Chateau Lascombes (Lux Gold Castle). At this time, most of the grapes produced by Chateau Ferriere were used to brew Chateau Lascombes (Lux Gold Castle) wine, and the winery itself entered a slow period of development.

In 1988, Chateau Ferriere ushered in a new opportunity for development - Jacques Merlaut, founder of the well-known French wine merchant Taillan Group (Sun Group), bought the winery. In 1992, the lease agreement between Chateau Ferriere and Chateau Lascombes came to an end, and Jacques' daughter Bernadette Villars-Merlaut also released her first vintage. Under the painstaking management of Jacques Merlaut and his descendants, the development of the winery has gradually improved. In addition to Chateau Ferrier, Jacques Merlaut and his descendants also own Chateau Chasse-Spleen, Chateau La Gurgue and Chateau Haut-Bages Liberal. Chateau) these well-known wineries.
