Tangy and fruity with spice and berry character. Full body, chewy tannins and a tight finish. This will fill out nicely in barrel. From biodynamic grapes. - March 2017

The 2016 Ferriere is an accomplished Margaux for the vintage. It has a feminine, refined bouquet with blackberry, wild strawberry and light rose petal aromas, just a hint of vanilla from the new oak that is neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe, quite juicy tannin. This is very harmonious with fine tannin, impressive depth and a sense of mineralité that is in tune with this vintage. I thought that the 2015 Ferriere was excellent, but this is another step up. Bravo, Clare Villars Lurton! - Wine Advocate #230, April 2017

The 2016 Ferrière is a deep, fleshy wine. Bold, and sumptuous, with terrific aromatic nuance, the 2016 comes across as wonderfully complete today. Dark tonalities of fruit, smoke, tobacco, licorice and grilled herbs are all pushed forward. Beams of tannin underpin the fruit, but they are nearly buried by the sheer intensity of the fruit. Expressive and layered in the glass, the 2016 Ferrière is a winner. Tasted two times. - vinous.com, April 2017

Gentle-edged, with pretty plum and cherry paste flavors, lined with subtle cocoa and roasted cedar accents. Offers a supple, floral-accented finish. - James Molesworth (WineSpectator.com, April 2017)

Light, toasty nose. Lively and very Margaux. Unforced. Even a bit delicate. Just a tad drying on the end, and far from the most concentrated, but overall quite a pleasure. Drink 2024-2040. - jancisrobinson.com, April 2017

Deep cherry red with purple rim. Elegant and fragrant on the nose. Firm, compact and super-fine tannin texture. Subtle, supple – the complete opposite of showy and very nice with it. (JH)
