Deep garnet. Lush red fruits with a hint of jam. Rich and full with notes of cocoa, nutmeg, red cherries and some complicating earthy notes. Round and full with bright acid. Good length and balance. Score: 90 - 92 Albany Vintners, - Date: 27 April 2016 |

The 2015 La Serre, a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, has buoyant red berry fruit on the nose - lively and nonchalant. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannin, well-judged acidity, very harmonious with impressive fruit concentration towards the velvety finish. I often feel that La Serre is overlooked at en primeur, but this is a valuable contribution to the JP Moueix stable this year.

Crushed flowers, sweet red berries, mint and anise give the 2015 La Serre its distinctive lifted personality. An especially fragrant, mid-weight Saint-Émilion, the 2015 will appeal most to readers who enjoy lighter, more gracious wines. Today, the oak is a bit prominent, which reinforces my overall impression that the 2015 is lacking in depth. La Serre is 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc.

70% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc. Clay limestone. Ruby. Very sweet and opulent on the nose. And then lots of Cabernet Franc refreshment kicks in. Nothing dramatic - very different from the St-Émilion norm - with some herbiness. Interesting but low key.

Blueberry and blackberry aromas and flavors. Full body, ultra-fine tannins and a long, long finish. So polished. A majority of merlot with some cabernet franc. Score: 92 - 93 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com Date: 01 April 2016 |
