A vintage of rare concentration and natural strength

The history of the house

Founded in the early 1700s, Château de Ferrand sits majestically on the famous Saint-Hippolyte plateau in Saint-Émilion. Today, the château is owned by the Baron Bich family who, with great respect for tradition and uncompromising dedication to quality, have brought Ferrand into the modern wine world.
