Vintage Character The 2014 Saint-Émilion Grand Cru from Château La Serre captures the classic elegance and depth that define this celebrated Right Bank appellation.

Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 90 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, this wine opens with inviting aromas of ripe red cherry, plum, and subtle cedar, complemented by nuances of violet and graphite. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, harmoniously blending Merlot’s plush fruit with the lift and structure of Cabernet Franc, leading to polished tannins and a persistent mineral finish. This versatile Saint-Émilion pairs beautifully with roast duck breast, herb-crusted lamb, or mushroom risotto, and also complements the savory depth of well-aged Comté cheese.
Winery Background Château La Serre is regarded as one of Saint-Émilion’s hidden treasures, with a history that traces back to the 17th century. The estate’s eight-hectare vineyard is ideally situated on the limestone plateau just outside the medieval village walls, a terroir that imparts a distinctive mineral character to its wines. Practicing sustainable viticulture and meticulous hand-harvesting, the team at La Serre is dedicated to expressing the nuances of each vintage through a philosophy of minimal intervention in the cellar. This approach allows the purity and clarity of Merlot and Cabernet Franc to shine, resulting in wines that are balanced, terroir-driven, and marked by understated sophistication.
