Château Ferran 2022 is a red Pessac-Léognan from Bordeaux’s Graves, a property outside the classified-growth system but one that continues to build a reputation on results. The estate points to a clear marker of momentum: the 2022 won a Gold Medal at the 2024 Féminalise competition in France. Alcohol is listed at 14%.

Critics largely describe a modern, cleanly built Pessac-Léognan with both freshness and structure. Decanter’s 91-point review is especially strong on texture and balance, calling it “bright and gently vibrant” with “good density and succulence,” and noting a “clean, mineral grip… and good persistence.” The same review emphasizes how the wine is shaped: “Straight, linear and sleek, but well worked,” with “tannins… excellent,” concluding, “A really appealing wine… good depth, weight and balance.” Decanter also provides useful technical detail: harvest ran “8-21 September,” the wine finished at “3.5pH,” yield was “48.9 hl/ha,” and it saw “Ageing for 12 months in French oak, 30% new.”

James Suckling rates it an excellent 92 points and highlights classic Graves savory-oak markers alongside ripe fruit: “cedary character, showing ground spices and walnuts with ripe red and dark fruits in the background.” He finds it “medium-bodied,” with a “juicy, crunchy palate,” “firm tannin structure,” and “a fine mineral aftertaste,” recommending, “Try from 2027.”

The Wine Palate (90 points) supports that profile with varietal-typical notes of currant and graphite, describing “red and black currant preserves” plus “garrigue, underbrush, and pencil shavings,” and a “medium to full-bodied palate” where “grainy tannins” frame the fruit and carry it to “a savory lift” on the finish.

Overall, Ferran 2022 reads as a poised, mineral-leaning Pessac-Léognan with enough fruit depth to balance its firm, well-managed tannins and a clear case for short cellaring.
