Claude Serra has spent over 20 years exploring the Languedoc terroirs and
Villa Serra is the culmination of his work.
Our wines are the result of a search for finesse and elegance and a desire
to show the true personality of the terroir.
The wines are produced in the true Languedoc tradition of assembling different grape
varieties grown in varied situations.
CERTIFIED ORGANIC VINEYARD (ECOCERT certificate).
Situation
Located on Caunes Minervois, at the heart of the A.O.C Minervois, in the northernmost
area called ARGENT DOUBLE , Villa Serra is a small family 2 hectare estate.
This "Bien de village" (meaning parcels located on different terroirs) has belonged to
the same family for several generations,
each providing its own contribution.
Climate
Located at an altitude of 100m, the vineyard is exposed to the Mediterranean climate
tempered by an Oceanic influences, with 700 mm of rainfall per year.
The long summers and beautiful south facing vineyards allow for a maximum of
sunshine on all parcels.
The vines are slow to mature and to complete, and the Oceanic influences coupled with
altitude produce remarkable freshness in the wines.
