Château de Ferrand
Château de Ferrand sits in Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, the heart of Bordeaux's Right Bank, where Merlot thrives in clay and limestone soils. The winery produces two principal wines: Baron Bich Saint-Émilion Grand Cru and Le Different de Chateau de Ferrand Saint Emilion Grand Cru. Both blend Merlot with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, a structure typical of the appellation—wines built on the softness of Merlot anchored by the tannin and freshness of the Cabernets. The Baron Bich has drawn assessment from Falstaff, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, and Decanter. Le Different, the secondary expression, follows the same varietal framework. Saint-Émilion Grand Cru demands precision in the vineyard and cellar; these wines reflect that discipline through their balance of ripe fruit and architectural tannin.
