Château Ferrière is a winery in the Margaux appellation of the Bordeaux region of France. The wine produced here was classified as one of fourteen ''Troisièmes Crus'' (Third Growths) in the historic Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855.〔 MacNeil, Karen, (2001) ''The Wine Bible'', Workman Publishing, 2001 pp. 885, ISBN 1-56305-434-5 〕 The Château has planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.〔 A second wine is produced under the label ''Les Remparts de Ferriere''.〔Kissack, Chris, thewinedoctor.com (Chateau Ferrière )〕 The estate is run by Claire Villars-Lurton, manager of Château Haut-Bages-Liberal and Château La Gurge, and wife of Gonzague Lurton, owner of Château Durfort-Vivens.〔 Suckling, James, ''Wine Spectator'' (March 31, 2007). '"50 Best Bordeaux under $50" p. 69 〕 == History == The estate’s name comes from its founder, Gabriel FERRIERE, who was a royal in charge of the king’s hunts during the 18th century. In 1777, he sold it to his cousins also named FERRIERE. One of them, Jean FERRIERE, will become mayor of the city of Bordeaux after Robespierre’s fall, in 1795. In 1855, took place the classification of the Medoc growths. On this occasion, Château Ferrière was classified (growth ). The estate remained in the hands of the FERRIERE family until 1914, when it was sold to Armand FEUILLERAT, then owner of another Margaux classified growth, (Marquis de Terme ). In 1952, (LICHINE ) took over the management of Château Ferrière as a farmer and all the wine was vinified at Château Lascombes, second growth in Margaux. During 40 years, only a small quantity of bottles is produced and the wine somehow becomes a second label for Château Lascombes. Only passengers of a famous airline had the opportunity to taste its potential. == Return of a classified growth == In 1988, the VILLARS family purchases the vineyard and the buildings, but it is only in 1992 that the agricultural lease comes to an end. The family then takes over the management of the vineyard as well as the vinification. The estate is now owned by Claire Villars-Lurton. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Château Ferrière」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
