The Winter was cold, very dry and unfavourable to the development of diseases. There was little rain. The budbursting and the flowering were quick and regular due to a hot and dry weather; especially during Summer when the recorded rains were less than normal. The vegetal growth was steady and early. The vineyard was particularly healthy.This excellent ripening favoured the concentration of sugar and of phenol compounds. In spite of an early deficit of water, the vine was able to extract from the deep gravels soil the necessary water for its harmonious development.

Tasting Notes
The 2005 vintage has produced a wine with an outstanding balance.
The beautiful color is purple, dark and shiny. The nose is still very reserved and elegant with notes of black fruits and blond tobacco.
The powerful and structured mouth leaves an impression of freshness.
The finish is long and elegant. We feel the potential to come.
To drink between 2014 and 2030.

History
In the middle of the XVIII century, the property belonged to Gabriel Ferrire, illustrious member of the court of Louis XV. It remained in the FERRIERE family until 1914, when it was sold to Armand Feuillerat, the owner of Chateau Marquis de Terme, another Grand Cru Class of Margaux.
From 1952, the property was rented and the operations were directed by Alexis Lichine. The wine was vinified at Chateau Lascombes. In 1988, the Villars family bought the vineyards and the chteau, but the long term rent only ended in 1992. The family then took over the operations of
the vineyard and winemaking.
