“Château de Séraphine in Pomerol is Martin Krajewski’s most recent project in Bordeaux and is named after his grandmother. The estate consists of only 2.2 hectares in two parcels, one hectare in Plince and 1.2 hectares in Mazeyres. Having purchased the plots in 2017, a digger was used to dig deep soil pits and evaluate the soil profile in each. Martin was ecstatic to discover blue clay two metres deep, the type of clay that is so special to Pomerol. Each vine is tended by hand, with ploughing and tilling of the soils done using a horse rather than tractors, which tend to compact the soil.”

Description

The 2019 L’Innocence de Seraphine from Pomerol is a finely crafted wine blending tradition and innovation. Sourced from 2.2 hectares of diverse vineyard parcels, including sandy topsoil, deep gravels, and blue clay, this Merlot-dominant wine incorporates eco-friendly viticulture and horse-driven soil management.

After a meticulous fermentation process, including time in clay amphora and barrel-integral systems, the wine was aged for 12-14 months in 40% new and 60% second/third-fill oak. The result is a structured and harmonious wine with depth and finesse, embodying the character of its exceptional terroir.

Greg Sherwood 93

" Deep red-black right to the rim, with savoury marmite aromas complemented by a lovely nose of violet-infused fruit, rich and intense. It also displays fresh, toasty and really interesting notes that lead to a palate of ripe, spiced, black fruits, making it supple and medium-bodied. It is an elegant wine that also shows lovely cinnamon notes and is fresh and leafy too with a refreshing bitter cranberry twist and bite, but all nicely done, with a long, rich sweet finish. Martin Krajewski, Proprietor" [Greg Sherwood, 01/03/2020]
