In Bordeaux we pay 45 euro for this vintage of Ferriere. I still don't see it as value as a wine in general but i understand that you mean it is a lot of value regarding the price within the Grand Cru classé, and on that point i do agree with you. 2017 vintage is special, yes it is written down and some older people that love the old style warm vintage Bordeaux will say it is a bad vintage. Yes the vintage was colder and written down but the evolution of 2017 vintage has been better than most people thought. 2017 is more close to the future style of Bordeaux if Bordeayx still want to be a region on top. New generation of people want fresh wine, less tannins, ready to drink early and small amount of oak. We see that many Chateaus reduce the amount of oak in the winery and we see a big increase with the Amphora. Cheers
Happy to hear that you like the wine. I have a few bottles in the cellar that I have not tasted yet. Better to open now or give it another 2-3 years? I opened a bottle of 2016 Chateau Cantemerle last night and it was corked 😩
jamie: Now that I have done some research on this wine, I think it is underprice and hope people will continue to overlook it. Please like, subscribe and keep watching. Cheers!
excellent review. its one of those reviews that makes me want to try the wine! also, as a wine maker who makes wines in “amphora” makes me happy that you seem to have good experience with “amphora” wines. but… I am sorry but have to add my tiny rant at the end and this is not directed to you but to wine “sphere” as a whole. first of all, to say that Romans used to make wines in “amphora” is a major overstatement. all evidence we have for this is couple of archeological sites. so yes, Romans at some point, did make wine in “amphora” but to say that they used to make it, is an overstatement in my opinion. also using word “amphora” for clay that is used for wine fermentation and aging is not correct as the word itself means handles in Greek. meaning clay pots were those used for transportation different things, wines including but to call clay fermenters amphora is, in my opinion wrong. thank you for listening to my ted talk😅
Ruirspirul: thanks so much for your contribution. I will do some research on this and then perhaps make a comment to try to set the record straight in a future video! Cheers!
