Domaine Sérafin

This domaine produces some of the finest, traditional wines of the Gevrey Appellation. Frédérique Goulley, the niece of Christian Sérafin, who has been working alongside her uncle for over ten years now, is now very much the winemaking driving force at the domaine, while Christian slows down. Although the baton has been handed over, the wine making philosophy hasn’t changed. These wines are hand crafted, with old vines and low yields central to the winemaking here. A cool ten day maceration helps create a stunning richness and concentration with the diligent use of new oak and the non-filtration of the wines being key to the Sérafin style. They continue to destem around 70% of the bunches. The grapes are fermented at a relatively high temperature and enjoy up to 100% new oak ageing.

Tasting Notes

Produced from two parcels of vines averaging 86 years old, one in Charmes and one in Mazoyères totaling only 0.3ha. (It is an interesting peculiarity that Mazoyères can be used as Charmes Chambertin.). In 2018 only 5 barrels were made – and demand will be for around 500! This is a foxy, seductive, exotic, lush and generous Pinot Noir, showing sweet cherries, raspberry Pavlova, a touch of myrtle with a profoundly rich and brooding palate. The tannins, formidable as they are, are enveloped in the lush fruit, with integrated spicy oak, and a layer of coffee bean and dried cherry bitterness. An outstanding wine!
