A vintage of natural strength and concentration

2017 was a challenging year in Bordeaux, but Château de Ferrand’s high-altitude vineyards on the Saint-Hippolyte plateau performed exceptionally well. The natural protection from frost ensured high-quality grapes – small, concentrated and full of aroma.

A mild spring season, a dry summer and an early harvest resulted in a wine with intense fruit, great structure and a freshness that gives elegance and suppleness. A harmonious wine where ripe fruit, vibrant acidity and rounded tannins blend beautifully.

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 an uncompromising focus on quality, have brought the property into the modern wine world.

The unique combination of clay and limestone soil gives the wines their characteristic freshness, structure and elegance. Today, Château de Ferrand is recognized as one of the most stable and quality-conscious Grand Cru Classé producers in the region.
