Chateau de Ferrand Grand Cru Classé 2015

Winter 2015 saw mainly mild, dry conditions. The first flowers appeared on the Merlot vines on 26 May, then on 28 May for the Cabernets. Mild temperatures at the end of May provided just the right conditions for optimal, high-quality flowering.

July was dry, with scorching hot temperatures. Thanks to the clay soils, Château de Ferrand did not suffer as the vines benefitted from the cool subsoil. The vine growth cycle slowed down. The grapes changed colour early. In August, temperatures were lower, with heavier rainy spells. The vines used these new water reserves, making for a homogeneous colour change process.

The vines were perfectly healthy. The grapes ripened well through September. Daytime temperatures were satisfactory and nights were cool. The ideal conditions for the grapes to ripen perfectly.
