Located just two minutes from the legendary Château Petrus—yeah, the $5,000-a-bottle legend—Château Haut-Ferrand is one of the wine world’s best-kept secret. And unlike its sky-high neighbors, this stunning Pomerol delivers the caliber of excellence at a fraction of the cost.

The Gasparoux family’s Bordeaux legacy stretches back to 1902 when Jean-Baptiste Gasparoux escaped a life of hardship to trade in Libourne. By 1934, his son Fernand made his own dream come true, purchasing Château Ferrand and slowly building a wine empire. In 1975, they snatched up prime real estate on Pomerol’s iconic plateau, where Château Haut-Ferrand was born—a wine that blends sophistication with raw power.

Today, under the watchful eye of Henry Gasparoux and his sons, the estate is a fusion of family tradition and cutting-edge innovation. The result? A wine that defines Pomerol—elegant, balanced, and built for the ages.

And the 2016? You’re going to want to sit down for this one. Harvested from Pomerol’s most exclusive plots, this wine is pure magic. Made from 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, it’s rich, velvety, and bursting with ripe fruits, wild venison, and a dash of earthy spice. This is Bordeaux at its most elegant—a wine that seduces you from the first sip and keeps evolving with every breath.

Château Haut-Ferrand 2016: Bordeaux done right.

Coming from the epic 2016 vintage for the Right Bank. Vinous Media blessed this year with a 98-point review, where they stated that "The 2016s are absolutely remarkable wines. The word that comes to mind, unfortunately so often overused, is balance. Absolutely harmonious. The 2016 Right Bank reds are remarkably polished and sensual." 

90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc. Softness and roundness of Merlot. Its bouquet with aromas of ripe or jammy fruits and game gives it elegance and harmony.

Dark purple colour with violet hue and black core. Expressive nose with ripe dark berries, black cherries, ripe plums and hints of mulberries, vanilla and hints of oriental spices as well as fine toasting aroma reminiscent of chocolate in the background. On the palate, rich character, ripe fruit, excellent balance and length. ~94 TastingBook.com
