Château Sergant, Lalande de Pomerol 2021

Supple, enjoyable and fruit-filled

Soils are a mixture of sand and gravel meaning the wine is powerful and complex
This is a medium-bodied wine that is both supple and approachable
Filled with crushed raspberries, smoke, vanilla and hints of chocolate
Pairs well with beef bourguignon, roast venison, and a good old Welsh rarebit

'For all that the big names of Bordeaux may have disappeared into the rarefied world of collectors, it's still possible to find the sort of drinkable, good quality claret that so many independent customers demand.
From the excellent 2016 vintage, this well-made (Hubert de Bouard of Chateau Angélus is a consultant), 82% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon blend from a 21ha estate in Lalande de Pomerol is a prime example.
"A great introduction to Pomerol," the judges said. "Warm, spicy, earthy notes on the nose, and great balance and structure with delicious bright fruits and a very fair price."' - The Wine Merchant Top 100 2018
