2016 La Serre St. Emilion La Serre

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2016 La Serre St. Emilion, La Serre

The 2016 La Serre is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. It has a medium garnet-purple color and reveals a vibrant nose of red cherries, blueberry pie and fresh plums with nuances of pencil lead, wild sage and fertile loam. Medium-bodied, refreshing and wonderfully juicy in the mouth, it has a lovely soft texture and a pleasant herbal lift on the finish. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Nov. 2018

Wine Spectator - 2016 La Serre St. Emilion, La Serre

A lightly steeped red, with black currant fruit leading off, extending midpalate and picking up subtle tobacco and alder accents along the way. Focused finish. Drink now through 2025. - Web 2019

Vinous - 2016 La Serre St. Emilion, La Serre

The 2016 La Serre offers copious ripe blackberry, briar and raspberry scents, plus just a hint of espresso in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannin, not overly complex, and (for this property) quite linear and correct all the way through to the fresh, marine-tinged finish. Fine. - Neal Martin, Jan. 2019
