Château La Serre Grand Cru Classé St. Emilion 2022

"The 2022 La Serre is a notable success, offering up aromas of wild berries, cherries and rose petals, followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple and suave palate that's deep, seamless and sensual, with a bright core of fruit and a long, mineral finish. This seven-hectare estate, situated on the shallow soils of the limestone plateau next to La Clotte and Villemaurine on the one side and Trotte Vieille and Troplong Mondot on the other, is planted at 7,200 vines per hectare, with some 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. With this vintage, La Serre takes an appreciable step up in quality."

"A juicy and chewy red with crushed stone and hints of chalkboard with black fruits and nutmeg spice. Medium to full body. Structured finish. Very well done here."

"Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, breitere Randaufhellung. Reife Kirschen, ein Hauch von Pflaumen, feine Waldbeernuancen, kandierte Orangenzesten. Saftig, rund und elegant, ein Hauch von Schokolade, dezenter Säurebogen, harmonisch, wirkt bereits gut antrinkbar, ein veilseitiger Speisenwein."

"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."
