Château Ferran

Château Ferran, located in the heart of the Pessac-Léognan AOC in the Bordeaux region, was once owned by Montesquieu, a philosopher and winemaker who owned the estate in the 18th century. Château Ferran benefits from a terroir that has consistently produced red and white wines (formerly labeled “Premiers graves Martillac”). Owned since 1880 by a long-established Bordeaux family, the estate has been managed since 1999 by Philippe and Ghislaine Lacoste, descendants of Joseph Beraud-Sudreau.

Extensive work to restructure the Château Ferran vineyard and renovate the cellars, undertaken in recent years, has very quickly been rewarded with numerous medals and high ratings from French, British, and American wine journalists, particularly during AOC Pessac-Léognan en primeur tastings. Work in the vineyard—including debudding, leaf removal, thinning, hand-harvesting plot by plot, and sorting in the vineyard or in the fermentation vat—allows us to select and blend the best lots during aging for Château Ferran, and to produce a more approachable second wine under the name Château de Belloc.
