2016 Serilhan (St-Estephe)

Under the direction of Didier Marcelis who took over the family business in 2003, the chateau produces three Bordeaux blends, namely Sérilhan, Moutinet and Mignot. Didier works closely with Bernard Franc, technical director who previously worked at Chateaux Pontet Canet and Lafon Rochet, and Hubert Bouard of Chateau Angélus, technical consultant. In recent years they have undertaken a significant renovation of the estate, increasing its area to 24 hectares of well-drained gravelly soil, and the wines demonstrate the robust tannic structure and punchiness typical of this appellation.
