Château Sergant produces a refined and elegant Lalande de Pomerol, crafted exclusively from 100% Merlot grapes. The vineyard is located on the eastern side of the appellation, on soils composed of gravel, sand, and clay, with characteristic blue clay reminiscent of the noble Pomerol plateau.

Grapes are mechanically harvested with a first sorting in the machine, followed by meticulous selection at the winery. The vineyard work and viticultural practices focus on reducing bunches per vine, promoting competition, and managing vigor to produce concentrated, high-quality fruit.
