Très satisfait !
Nous avons été parfaitement satisfaits de notre visite et de la réception au château de Ferrand. Vins excellents, mais un peu onéreux. C’est cela la qualité ! Le jeune œnologue qui nous a fait visiter les caves et apprécier les vins était parfait, très agréable et connaissant bien son boulot.

Vins d'excellences
Nous sommes très satisfaits de notre visite au Château de Ferrand. Excellent accueil, la propriétaire étant sur place elle s’est présentée. Ensuite nous avons été guidés par le responsable des œnologues. Visite privée des caves, puis la dégustation de plusieurs millésimes, tous excellents, les explications ont été très instructives et la personne très compétente.
