Chateau Margaux, interplanetary icon of wine, has a very old repute. In the 15th century, it was known as Lamothe, a fortified castle site in Bordeaux region. In 1750, Mr de Fumel planted a large quantity of fine grape-variety. In 1802, it was brought by the Marquis de la Colonilla, who razed the old castle to the ground and built a new one.

The Margaux estate is named after a well-known Bordeaux family which briefly contributes a Mayor of Bordeaux. The Ferrière family’s hard work and success was rewarded by their estate’s inclusion as a third growth in the 1855 classification, along with five other wines from the commune of Margaux.

In 1951, Alexis Lichine signed a long-term lease for the estate, for Château Lascombes. Throughout this period, Ferrière was somewhat overshadowed by the other Margaux great growths.

Since 1992, when the estate was purchased by the Meralut Villars family, Claire Villars has been doing a brilliant job of bringing it back into the limelight. Part of this superb, vineyard is a walled plot in the centre of the village of Margaux.

Could any wine be more typically “Margaux” than Château Ferrière? The critics have certainly been right in recognizing the amazing renaissance of this tiny great growth. Due to both its size and the extraordinary care taken during the winemaking process, Château Ferrière is a rare wine, highly valued by connoisseurs.
