Terroir and Winemaking

Château La Serre's vineyard is composed of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, planted on a south-facing slope. The vines, averaging 35 years of age, are regularly renewed to maintain their vigor. Sustainable viticulture practices are employed, with minimal intervention and limited use of insecticides. The grapes undergo an optical sorting process in the cellar, followed by cold maceration to preserve the full expression of the terroir. Vinification takes place in cement and stainless steel vats, with an average aging of 18 months in oak barrels, with 50% renewal each year. The result is a wine that is generous, deep, and characterized by a mineral frame.
