2016 Les Remparts de Ferriere

品飲筆記：一開瓶就有清爽的紅黑果香，紫羅蘭的花氣輕柔點綴，微微雪松、礦物和黑胡椒的尾韻帶出層次。酒體中等偏雅緻，單寧細緻滑順，酸度明亮讓整體保持活力與清晰感，橡木味溫和，讓果味更有深度。

酒莊與生產：費里埃由Claire Villars Lurton 維護經營，Les Remparts 是莊園的二軍，著重以更親切的酒款呈現莊園風格。釀造時嚴選果實、控制萃取，強調平衡與場址表現，讓酒既有瑪歌的優雅又能早飲享受。

釀造方式：選用來自年輕植株或未進入一軍的園塊，發酵採溫和手法以保留果香與新鮮感，完成乳酸發酵後在法國橡木桶中熟成—使用部分新桶以賦予細緻香料與結構，但不搶走果實主角。

葡萄園環境：來自瑪歌的礫石土壤與良好光照，帶出香氣與礦質感。整體風格偏向精緻和耐飲，無論現飲或短期陳放都相當討喜。

Tasting note: Bright, poised aromas of red cherries and plum layered with violet floral perfume, cedar spice and a hint of graphite. The palate is medium-bodied and classically Margaux in style — red and black fruit framed by silky, fine-grained tannins, a saline mineral thread and a balanced acidity that keeps the wine lively. The oak is supportive rather than dominant, adding nuance of toast and sweet spice to a persistent, gently savory finish.

Producer notes: Les Remparts de Ferrière is the estate’s second wine, made to reflect the elegance and terroir of the domaine while offering earlier approachability. Under the stewardship of Claire Villars Lurton, the estate focuses on balance, site expression and careful selection to craft wines that marry finesse with clarity.

Winemaking: Fruit is selected from younger vines and lots not retained for the grand vin, fermented with attention to gentle extraction to preserve freshness and aromatic lift. Malolactic fermentation is completed and the wine receives élevage in French oak, a portion of which is recently renewed, to add structure and subtle spice while preserving fruit purity.

Vineyard: Sourced from Margaux vineyards with well-drained gravelly soils and favorable exposure, the parcels produce wines that show perfume, mineral tension and an elegant mid-palate. Les Remparts aims to translate the cool, maritime-influenced Margaux character into a ready-to-drink yet ageworthy bottle.
