WINE MAKING PROCESS
Château La Serre 2015 undergoes a winemaking process that includes optical sorting of the grapes to ensure quality, followed by a pre-fermentation cold soak. Fermentation takes place in concrete tanks. The wine is then aged for approximately 16 months, with about 50% of the barrels being new French oak. The vineyard practices focus on traditional methods, including manual tilling.
