Scev Vignobles Chatonnet LA SERGUE Red 2012 Lalande-de-Pomerol
Description
Viticulture
Integrated viticulture - Drastic reduction in the use of phytosanitary products in the vineyard.
Vinification
In oak vats. Each plot is vinified separately using the most modern techniques, but in the pure Bordeaux tradition.
Wine aging
12 months in oak barrels (1/2 new and 1/2 one wine) in a specially designed underground cellar, ideal for maturing.
Vintage details
After a cold, dry winter, the cool, wet spring extended into June. The summer starts late; the heat definitely sets in at the beginning of August, so much so that the summer is declared the hottest since 2003.
Tasting notes
Very intense colour, almost black. Without aeration and agitation, the typical aromatic character of LA SERGUE is clearly recognisable: blackberry, blackcurrant, peony, bourbon vanilla. After a few turns in the glass, the aromas develop and become more complex. First, a note of baked apple is added, followed by a touch of old dark rum. The attack in the mouth is firm without more, the tannin is very fresh and without dryness, supple just as it should be. The volume in the mouth is pleasant and enveloping.
