Very satisfied!
We were perfectly satisfied with our visit and reception at Château de Ferrand. Excellent wines, but a little expensive. Now that's quality! The young oenologist who showed us around the cellars and helped us appreciate the wines was perfect, very pleasant and knowledgeable.

Wines of excellence
We were very pleased with our visit to Château de Ferrand. The owner was on site and introduced herself. We were then guided by the oenologist in charge. Private tour of the cellars, followed by a tasting of several vintages, all excellent. The explanations were very instructive and the person very competent.
