« Very pretty plum, chocolate and hazelnut aromas follow through to a full body with polished yet chewy tannins and fantastic depth of fruit and structure. Powerful for this estate. Needs five to six years to soften. Try after 2026. »

« Que de finesse dans ce bouquet qui met en valeur son expression fruitée, son terroir crayeux et son élevage. On retrouve le côté crayeux en bouche ou le vin dispose d’une bonne tension qui est de pair avec l’ampleur présente. Les tannins sont compacts, soyeux et atteignent leur amplitude tout en fin de bouche, ce qui est de bon augure pour les décennies à venir. Belle réussite… une fois de plus»

« Located in the commune of Saint-Hippolyte, Ferrand is an estate that has seen plenty of recent investment and is making increasingly impressive wines. This has poise and focus, managing to be both mouth-watering and creamy in texture. Fruits here are dominant red and summery – raspberry, loganberry, pinpoints of redcurrant, with white truffle and fennel alongside. »

« Inky dark purple core. Pure intense and glossy nose showing fine oak, toast, roasted coffee, cassis and crushed dark berries. The palate combines a dense fruitiness and concentration with a fresh backbone, layers of finely grained tannins, stylish and pure with a chalky freshness and a long vigorous finish. Still youthful but finely assembled and harmonious. »
