[3] The estate's name comes from its founder, Gabriel FERRIERE, who was a royal in charge of the king's hunts during the 18th century.
The estate remained in the hands of the FERRIERE family until 1914, when it was sold to Armand FEUILLERAT, then owner of another Margaux classified growth, [Château Marquis de Terme].
During 40 years, only a small quantity of bottles is produced and the wine somehow becomes a second label for Château Lascombes.
With its 12-hectare vineyard, composed of Garonne gravels laying on chalk, Château Ferrière has the smallest surface of vines of all the classified growth in 1855.
A parcel of this small piece of terroir lies in the heart of the Margaux village and is rounded by an old stone wall.
