Note di degustazione
This took its time but in the past few years the 2012 has really come into its own and is showing beautifully. It was a later harvest than the 2011, stretching into early October (although speeded up as rain arrived). Hugely seductive on the nose, with black cherries, blackberries, touches of hawthorn that give an unfussy quality, shot through with cinammon and black olive, and again the saline kick on the finish that is such a signature of limestone-dominant wines. A little soft on the finish, but great for enjoyable drinking right now. 30hl/H yield.

The 2012 La Serre offers lovely depth in a classic, understated style. Sweet spice, tobacco, dark berry, cherry pit leather and cedar flesh out in the glass. Ample, layered and expressive, the 2012 should continue to drink well for another 7-10 years. The 2012 is not especially complex, but it is a pretty Saint-Emilion to enjoy for its forward, inviting personality.
This is a soft, round, up-front style of St.-Emilion with a deep ruby/purple color. The wine is medium-bodied, pleasant, elegant, not terribly concentrated, but juicy and consumer-friendly. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.
