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.
Very much in the classic Morey mould – rich and fruit forward yet firm and structured. There is a lovely depth to this wine, tight and fruit packed, cassis and raspberry liquor wish a lush creamy palate. There is minerality too and a fine balancing acidity. This is an appellation that is often overlooked and on this showing you have to ask why….
