More about this product
Chateau Ferrande
Château Ferrande’s graceful silhouette stands at the end of a long cedar-lined pathway, at the entry to the village of Castres-sur-Gironde. Nestled in the heart of gardens containing rare plants, linden trees and horse chestnuts, Château Ferrande’s elegant nineteenth century manor house stands out for its superb façade. A symphony of stone and light gives the edifice the appearance of a jewel, encased in shimmering green. Once home to an important smithy, Ferrande was a compulsory stop for travellers on the road from Bordeaux to Toulouse. The erstwhile blacksmith’s legacy endures not only in the château’s name (fer / Ferrande), but also in the passion for hand-crafted excellence that continues to inspire today’s occupants. Dazzled by the quality of property’s terroir, the Castel family made the decision to acquire Château Ferrande in 1992. Having been tenants for over sixteen years, the family was indelibly linked to the property before beginning a new chapter, setting out to offer the property renewed brilliance. Substantial investments and an ambitious renovation project, especially in the winery, have brought out the terroir’s innate excellence.

Bordeaux
Bordeaux is perhaps the most famous wine region in France. It stretches 130 kilometers inland from the Atlantic coast. In 2018, 111,000 hectares of vineyards were registered, a figure that remains largely constant over the previous decade. The main varieties grown here are Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc and they are used to make different wines, each producer having its own blend and proportions of mixing the varieties. Here are produced some of the most famous, most expensive and long-lasting wines in the world - the well-known subregions Medoc, Graves, St. Emilion, Pomerol and many others. Bordeaux is divided by the Gironde River on the left and right banks. Characteristic of the left bank (Medoc, Haut Medoc, Graves) is the more serious presence of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend of wine, while on the right bank (St. Emillion, Pomerol) merlot predominates. In addition to red wines, Bordeaux is famous for the production of white, mainly a blend between Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, with the Sauternes subregion and the leading Chateau d’Yquem, famous for its complex and multi-layered, aromatic and sweet botrytized dessert wine.

Merlot
Southwest of France is Merlot’s birthplace - the regions of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. Merlot is nowadays widely planted across the world much like Cabernet Sauvignon because it is an early maturing grape variety and because of its ability to ripen fully even in slightly cooler climates. Smooth, velvety, soft and rounded - an “easy drinking" wine with tender tannic structure - these are the common descriptions of Merlot wines.
