The 2022 Château Ferran Rouge is an elegant French red wine from Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux, produced by the historic Château Ferran estate. Crafted from traditional Bordeaux varieties, including Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine reflects the region's gravelly soils and reputation for structured, refined reds. Its anticipated aromas reveal ripe blackcurrant, dark cherry and plum, complemented by notes of cedar, tobacco, violet and subtle earthy spice.
On the palate, it is expected to be medium to full-bodied with polished tannins and balanced acidity. Flavours of blackberry, ripe plum and dark cherry unfold alongside hints of liquorice, dried herbs and gentle oak spice. Its generous fruit character and savoury complexity lead to a lingering finish with refined tannins and delicate mineral notes.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers seeking a classic Bordeaux red with rich fruit, elegant structure and ageing potential. The 2022 Château Ferran Rouge combines ripe dark berries with savoury depth, making it ideal for special dinners or relaxed celebrations. A suggested drinking window is 2027–2037, with further development possible under suitable cellaring conditions. Serve at approximately 16–18°C, allowing time for gentle aeration. Particularly well suited to rosemary-roasted lamb, grilled ribeye steak, slow-braised beef cheeks, mushroom risotto or aged cheddar cheese.
