Description
What kind of wine it is
Chateau Sergant Lalande-de-Pomerol is a still red wine that embodies the elegance of the Lalande-de-Pomerol appellation in the renowned Bordeaux region. This blend, predominantly Merlot complemented by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, stands out for its full and balanced structure. The bouquet offers a fruity and spicy aromatic profile, with clear notes of blueberry and morello cherry merging with hints of liquorice and mocha. On the palate, the sip is enveloping, supported by a silky tannic texture and a long finish recalling notes of plum jam and coffee.
Where it comes from
The grapes are grown in vineyards situated on the plateau to the west of the village of Lalande-de-Pomerol. The vines, with an average age of around thirty years, sink their roots into sandy-silty and gravelly soils, a composition that enhances the concentration of aromas and gives the wine a solid structure. The planting density of six thousand vines per hectare reflects a rigorous viticulture, aimed at achieving the perfect balance between vegetation and production. Under the guidance of the Helfrich family, the Chateau Sergant estate benefits from the consultancy of Hubert de Boüard, working to enhance the authentic expression of the Bordeaux terroir.
How it is produced
The production process begins with fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature, essential for preserving the freshness of the primary aromas. Subsequently, the wine matures for twelve months of ageing in oak barrels, a key stage for integrating aromatic complexity and softening the structure. In the glass, it displays a deep red colour with violet highlights. This careful cellar management results in a red wine with marked gustatory harmony, enriched by hints of vanilla and cocoa, ideal for accompanying dishes based on red meats and mature cheeses.
