Bordeaux Supérieur AOC La Réserve de Sergolle 2021 Baron de Sergolle

What kind of wine is it?

La Réserve de Sergolle by Baron de Sergolle is a red wine made from Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in Gironde. This Bordeaux Supérieur shows a structured and complex profile, the result of a selection of low-yielding grapes. Vinification takes place in stainless steel and cement tanks, with aging for at least ten months. The result is an elegant blend with good intensity and potential for evolution in the bottle.

Where does it come from?

Produced in Gironde, in the heart of Bordeaux, the wine benefits from a maritime climate with moderate temperature variations and regular rainfall. Gravelly and clay soils promote drainage and balanced water supply. The low altitude and ocean breezes favor even ripening, while the area preserves the classic practices of Bordeaux tradition.

How is it produced?

The Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are hand-harvested at the peak of phenolic ripeness. After destemming, fermentation takes place in stainless steel and cement tanks with temperature control. Prolonged maceration extracts color, tannins, and aromas. After natural malolactic fermentation, the wine ages in cement tanks for at least ten months, in line with Bordeaux tradition.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it displays an intense ruby red with garnet highlights. On the nose, ripe plum and cherry emerge, alongside herbal notes of nettle and wild herbs. Hints of rhubarb, graphite, and pepper broaden the profile. On the palate, it shows density and harmony, with gentle tannins and vibrant acidity supporting the fruit and offering a lasting finish.

Food pairings

La Réserve de Sergolle pairs well with game dishes such as duck breast and braised venison, as well as grilled red meats. It is also excellent with flavorful first courses, such as traditional ragù pasta. A recommended regional pairing is duck confit from Bordeaux cuisine, which enhances the spices and the wine's tannic structure.

When to serve it

Thanks to its structure and the balance between tannins and acidity, this Bordeaux Supérieur has solid aging potential. It can be enjoyed young but benefits from a few years of bottle aging. The ideal drinking window is from the third to the seventh year, when it best expresses its aromatic complexity and structural balance.
