2022 La Serre

Notions of minty blackberries, cedar and licorice, along with subtle hints of leather, introduce the 2022 La Serre, a medium to full-bodied, supple and creamy wine with a rich core of fruit and a mineral finish. This isn't quite as pure and precise as it showed en primeur, but it's a solid effort.

Truffly earth, black cherries, chalk, sweet saddle leather, and a beautiful floral character all emerge from the 2022 Château La Serre, another riveting Saint-Emilion that has a balanced, elegant mouthfeel, superb concentration, and velvety tannins. It's hard to resist today yet will age gracefully over the coming two decades.

The 2022 La Serre has a vivacious bouquet with ebullient, wonderfully delineated red fruit laced with fresh fig and crushed violet scents. True to form, this is forward and generous in style. The palate is very smooth with blackberry, graphite and light tobacco notes and gentle grip on the finish. It is full and plush without being overbearing. This is a lip-smackingly delicious La Serra.
