Saint Emilion AOC Grand Cru 'Le Different' 2018 (750 ml.) Chateau de Ferrand

The Saint-Émilion Grand Cru from Château de Ferrand is an elegant red wine of great depth, emblematic of the noble terroir of Saint-Hippolyte. The grapes come from vineyards located on limestone plateaus, and each parcel is vinified separately to enhance the characteristics of each microzone. The blend consists of 73% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine ages for 14-18 months in French oak barrels, developing structure and complexity. On the nose, it opens with aromas of ripe red fruits, sweet spices, herbal notes, and balsamic hints. The palate is rich, balanced, and velvety, with silky tannins and a freshness that accompanies a long and persistent finish. A Grand Cru that combines tradition and finesse, perfect for bottle aging.

Chateau de Ferrand

In the heart of the famous Saint-Émilion denomination, Château de Ferrand represents one of the most fascinating and historic realities of the Bordeaux landscape. Founded in the early 18th century by Elie De Bétoulaud, a brilliant lawyer, poet, and patron as well as an intimate friend of the Sun King, the estate was born with the ambition to emulate the lavish atmosphere of the Palace of Versailles. A dream that took shape among refined architectures, underground galleries, and an expanse of land that still captivates today.

In 1978, the entry of the Bich family, famous for creating the Bic empire, marked a new era for Ferrand. After the baron's passing, the property remained firmly in the hands of his family, now represented by Pauline Bich Chandon-Moët and her husband Philippe Chandon-Moët, heirs of two great names in French tradition. Since 2010, the couple has launched an ambitious renewal plan: replanting the vineyards based on ampelographic studies, selecting the most suitable clones for the terroir, adopting sustainable viticultural practices, and expanding the infrastructure with custom vats for selected parcels.

In 2012, thanks to this forward-thinking vision, Château de Ferrand was awarded the title of Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé. The estate now extends over 42 hectares, of which 32 are planted with Merlot (70%), Cabernet Franc (29%), and Cabernet Sauvignon (1%), cultivated with artisanal care and an innovative spirit.

Color: deep ruby red, with garnet reflections that begin to emerge at the edges, a sign of evolution in the bottle. The appearance is bright and compact, indicating good concentration and maturity of the fruit.

Bouquet: elegant and moderately complex, with an opening on notes of ripe red fruits like cherry and raspberry, followed by darker tones of plum and blackberry. Next, nuances of sweet spices – vanilla and cinnamon – emerge, accompanied by earthy scents and slight hints of blonde tobacco and leather, expressions of its aging in wood and the beginning of its tertiary phase.

Taste: a body of good structure, supported by well-integrated, soft, and mature tannins. The attack is soft and enveloping, with a balanced progression between freshness and roundness. The finish is long and clean, with fruity returns and a subtle balsamic note that adds depth and persistence.
