2022 Château La Serre

The 2022 La Serre was picked 7-26 September. Always one of the "hidden gems" amongst J-P Moueix's range, this is another in a line of seductive and finely-crafted wines from the Saint-Émilion estate. The bouquet "gushes" from the nose with copious kirsch, fresh fig and ebullient red fruit, perhaps a little glossy in style, yet it maintains impressive delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannins, fine acidity, lovely balance and more finesse than the preceding Pindefleurs. Wonderful purity. This La Serre comes highly recommended.

Coming from a 7-hectare vineyard located on the upper limestone plateau of Saint-Emilion, the 2022 Château La Serre reveals a dense purple/plum color as well as gorgeous aromatics of black raspberries, cassis, graphite, chalky minerality, spring flowers, and spice. Wonderfully textured, medium to full-bodied, concentrated, and yet also elegant, it's a more lively, vibrant style from this estate that still shows plenty of classic La Serre richness and depth.

A blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc, the 2022 La Serre is deep garnet-purple in color. It charges out with bold expressions of raspberry pie, juicy black plums, and Morello cherries, leading to wafts of cinnamon toast and charcoal. The medium to full-bodied palate is plush and juicy, with well-balanced acidity providing freshness on the finish. (05/2023)
