Château La Serre

The seven hectares lie on a south-facing limestone plateau with a thin layer of clay near the walls of Saint-Émilion. The grapes are harvested by hand and optically sorted. The wine matures for around 15 months in French oak barrels, half of them new; fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled concrete and stainless-steel tanks. The vintage shows dark berries, blueberry, cherry, violet, chocolate and dried rosemary. On the palate, it is rich, taut and mineral, with ripe, grainy tannins and a concentrated finish.
