Add to Wish List

"Just 2,800 bottles are produced. It offers deep ripe blackberry and briary scents on the nose intermixed with dark chocolate and hints of black truffle. The new oak (40%) is neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins matched by a keen thread of acidity. Deceivingly understated on the entry, it packs a lot of intensity towards the finish with enticing cracked black pepper and clove notes towards the finish. " Vinous Media

The 2019 Séraphine comes from the 2.2ha vineyard owned by Martin Krajewski, pure Merlot at the moment though Cabernet Franc was planted in April 2017. Picked over 3 days from 24 September to 26 September at 25hl/ha, it underwent a day's cold soak before maturation in 300-litre barrels plus clay amphora for the first time. Just 2,800 bottles are produced. It offers deep ripe blackberry and briary scents on the nose intermixed with dark chocolate and hints of black truffle. The new oak (40%) is neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins matched by a keen thread of acidity. Deceivingly understated on the entry, it packs a lot of intensity towards the finish with enticing cracked black pepper and clove notes towards the finish. This is a step up, a more interesting Pomerol, compared to earlier vintages. One to watch...
