Velkommen til Saint-Émilion, hvor den eminente årgang 2022 også hos Château La Serre har budt på en årgang til historiebøgerne.
Fantastisk blomstret velkomst, når du dufter til vinen. Kirsebær, solbær og urter følger op og lokker dig med. Virkelig flot struktur og fylde med flere frugtige toner og elegante tanniner, der ikke brager igennem, men lader sig mærke. Lang og mineralsk eftersmag.
I kælderen sorteres druerne optisk og gennemgår en præ-fermentær kold maceration. Gæringen foregår i beton- og rustfri stålkar og lagring på franske egetræsfade, hvoraf 50% fornyes hvert år.

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.

“VERY WELL DONE HERE”
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.

Deep dark ruby garnet colour with purple reflections, broad and bright rim. Ripe cherries, a touch of plums, fine nuances of forest berries, candied orange zest. Juicy, round and elegant, a touch of chocolate, discreet acidity, harmonious, already seems accessible, a multi-faceted food wine.

“SEHR HOHE QUALITÄT DIESES JAHR”
Was für eine Nase, super floral, dazu Sahne, Kräuter, Kirschen, Cassis, verführerisch. Im Gaumen straff, gut strukturiert, die Frucht baut auf, wird mehr und mehr voluminös, die Tannine sind hochwertig, halten sich dezent im Hintergrund und machen sich erst im Abgang bemerkbar. Langer rotfruchtiger, mineralischer Abgang. Sehr hohe Qualität dieses Jahr.

Rich, deep, long, and creamy, the wine is all about its layers of deep, dark, lush fruits on the palate and in the finish.

The Wine Advocate
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.

Decanter
Juicy and easy, this is well balanced and round with lovely purity of red berry fruit with crispness and definition to the tannins but still giving a roundness to the structure. Calm and controlled, bright acidity, good push from start to finish and licks of liquorice and slate giving the mineral nuance on the finish. A little shy still, but well presented.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown
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.
