Chateau Serilhan, Saint-Estephe, France 2016 Chateau Villemaurine as everything sails beautifully through

as everything sails beautifully through the long finish

The juice is fermented with native yeasts for a refreshing savory character

intense and juicy on the palate with very bright acidity that cuts through the full-bodied palate

Classic Mourvèdre notes of blueberries

and to my mind

Chateau Serilhan, Saint-Estephe, France 2016 Chateau Villemaurine as everything sails beautifully throughThe 2016 Serilhan is a treat. It has a gorgeous, beautifully defined bouquet with blackberry, cigar box and smoky aromas that gently unfold in the glass. The palate is medium bodied with succulent black and red fruit, very fine tannin, a veneer of quality new oak but with more than sufficient fruit underneath and a long sensual finish. 93 Pts Robert Parker
