The 2011 Château La Serre is an attractive medium-bodied and elegant wine from Saint-Émilion composed of 80% Merlot with 20% Cabernet Franc. Now perfectly ready for drinking it offers up notes of wild red fruits, spices and cedar. A classic example of Bordeaux from a cool vintage that would be perfect alongside roasted meats or hard cheeses.

Floral edged, peony and rose, and again this lovely gentle smudge of smoke. Raspberry and blackberry fruits on the palate, there are fresh acidities here and it should age well, but there is an austerity to it that you find in many 2011s at the moment, particularly on limestone. Feels very Cabernet Franc in its expression, with slate texture on the finish and clear salinity. Less weight through the mid plate than the 2009 and 2010 vintages, but this has real charm, and highlights the limestone character clearly. 50% new oak.Jane Anson3rd November 2021

Deep ruby. Cassis, violet and truffle on the rich nose. Then sweet and smooth on the palate, with ripe tannic support for the wine's red fruit, tobacco and loam flavors. At once creamy and lively on the persistent finish. Insiders know that La Serre does very well in dry years thanks to the high clay content of its soil. So just like in 2003, when this wine was a major success, it performed well in 2011 too. Ian d'Agata1st May 2012
