Château La Serre 2010 is a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé produced from a seven-hectare vineyard situated on the limestone plateau. This 2010 bottling represents an exceptional quality vintage for Bordeaux and offers a profile of dark plum and truffle with a refined mineral undercurrent. It consists of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc and was matured in 50% new French oak to provide a polished structural frame. The wine possesses a high level of concentration and a firm tannic grip that has integrated seamlessly over 15 years of bottle age.

Deeper in colour than the 2009, and the whole structure of the wine is younger and will benefit from another few years in bottle. Olives, spiced plum, touches of orange peel and chocolate shavings, still very young, powerful, dominated by red fruits, raspberry and blackberry, takes its time before the salinity and mouthwatering finish arrives. A gorgeous wine with clear mint leaf on the finish, real complexity of the aromatics also, takes its time to show off, so give it time in the glass. 50% new oak. Yields back to relatively normal at 45hl/h (in fact this is generous here, 40-43hl is more typical because of the limestone soils with just 30cm of topsoil in many parts). If you are going to drink this soon give it plenty of time in a carafe to allow the generosity to show itself.Jane Anson3rd November 2021

Deep ruby with a hint of purple. Deep nose suggests cassis, violet and tar. Enters sweet but fresh, with ripe red and black fruit flavors nicely focused by lively acids. Finishes with chewy but polished tannins. A more refined, less chunky La Serre than usual.Ian d'Agata1st May 2011
