STORY OF A TRILOGY

La Sergue is a unique vintage.

An essential reference of the appellation, La Sergue* is a trilogy story that begins with the isolation of three micro-terroirs of Lalande de Pomerol: La Mirande, La Margaux, and La Pignière. A blend of three grape varieties: Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec, harvested at perfect maturity, vinified in foudres and by terroir units, then aged in barrels before being blended to reflect the characteristics specific to each year.

La Sergue then synthesizes the quintessence of the vintage from each of these places. Forged to withstand the test of time, additional aging in the bottle is carried out to allow it to fully express itself.

* Image of wine and name of a plot, derived from the old French (nf 1360) “Serge”, designating a fabric, derived from the popular Latin “Serica”, silk fabric and the Latin “Séricus”, silk.

Winemaking and aging

Agro-synergy approach.

Three emblematic grape varieties (Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec).
Three micro-terroirs vinified and aged separately: fermentation in tuns, followed by aging in barrels. A proportion of new wood of approximately 40%.
Aging in bottles in our cellars to offer the wine at its optimum tasting.

Geology

Silico-clay soil with iron dross and gravel-clay

Tasting

Dark, spicy fruit with an original touch of black tea and ripe blackcurrant; the tannin is impressively powerful and delicate. The freshness of the Malbec and the acidic tension of the clayey terroir of Haut-Chaigneau perfectly balance the rich, opulent tannin of the gravelly terroir of La Pignière.
