The 2021 Château de Ferrand has a lifted bouquet of redcurrant and wild strawberry fruit, dried rose petals, red plum and pain d’épices . The palate is medium-bodied with a firm structure and fine tannins. Quite fresh thanks to the acidity, the 2021 has a harmonious, almost Left Bank finish. This is a well-crafted Saint-Émilion that knows it would have been unwise to push too hard.
Clear spices and cloves in bottle as during En Primeur - expect a pretty concentrated delivery on the opening notes. It's good quality, well balanced and structured, with pomegrante, red cherry, smoked earth and mandarin peel. Axel Marchal consultant here, with owners Philippe and Pauline Bich-Chandon-Moët. Harvest stretched from late September through to October 19.
Offering up aromas of sweet berries, cherries, warm spices and loamy soil, the 2021 de Ferrand is a medium to full-bodied, lively and incisive Saint-Emilion with a bright, limestone-driven profile. It should evolve gracefully in barrel and in bottle.
