Château La Serre
A short walk from the medieval ramparts, Château La Serre sits in Saint‑Émilion as a Grand Cru Classé, its 7 hectares perched on the edge of the limestone plateau. Since 1956, the d’Arfeuille family has tended this compact block of rock and clay, shaping a style built on freshness and precision.
Beneath a thin cap of clay lies the famed asteriated limestone, threaded with old underground galleries that influence water movement and keep the soils in balance. Exposed to the plateau’s winds, the vineyard finds an even rhythm of ripening; work remains plot‑focused, with careful picking and a cellar approach that favors clarity over excess.
La Serre reads Saint‑Émilion through tension rather than weight: firm architecture, controlled depth, and a mineral echo that feels rooted in the stone below.Château La Serre
