About Domaine Sérafin
Christian Sérafin is a widely respected producer held in high regard by Robert M. Parker Jr., the second-generation of his family estate, Domaine Serafin, he produces formidable Burgundies that have won over numerous critics. Robert Parker, clearly an ardent fan, makes no effort to hide his admiration towards Sérafin:
“In a village of far too many underachievers, Christian Serafin stands out as one of the sure-handed winemakers. His wines have been remarkably consistent”
Sérafin’s estate includes vineyard holdings in Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey-St.-Denis, and Chambolle-Musigny. His prized Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru plot occupies a mere 0.31 hectares with vines planted in 1946. Today, the estate is managed by Christian’s daughter Karine and niece Frédérique Goulley.

Wine Advocate (85)The 2014 Bourgogne Pinot Noir has a light brambly bouquet with pleasant redcurrant and cranberry aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red berry fruit and perhaps just tapering in a little prematurely on the finish. Drink over the next 2-3 years. |

Vinous (90+)Full medium ruby. Aromas of blackberry, mint, wild herbs and menthol, plus a strong note of licorice pastille. Tightly wound and backward; comes across as drier than the Gevrey cuvées. Very pure and high-pitched but distinctly rigid today. Strong tannins saturate the front teeth and incisors. Tough going today and in need of patience. |

Vinous (92+)Bright, dark red. Very pure aromas and flavors of fresh black fruits, minerals, violet and spices; conveys clear terroir character for the year. Densely packed and juicy if a bit youthfully imploded. This concentrated, seriously tannic wine finishes chewy and long, with a very firm impression of structure and surprising energy. |

Vinous (90-92)(production was barely half of a normal crop): Bright, dark red; these 2016s all have inviting limpid colors. Slightly reduced aromas of red berries, mocha and soil. Fleshier and more concentrated than the Morey-Saint-Denis Les Millandes, with its sweet dark fruit and spice flavors cut by musky minerality. At once silkier and more backward than the Millandes, finishing with substantial ripe tannins. With its rocky complexity, this wine reminded me of a mini-Bonnes Mares. |

Vinous (91+)Good medium red. Classic Morey-Saint-Denis scents of purple berries, clove, dried flowers and earth; as with the set of '16s, this is totally different from the estate's Gevrey wines. Fresh but youthfully tight, showing limited early sweetness but very good definition and energy to the flavors of blackberry, blueberry, spices and violet. Finishes with subtle saline complexity and a note of licorice pastille, but the wine's dusty tannins are a touch dry today and will need patience. |

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (88-91)Medium red. Wild, reduced nose of game, leather, minerals and coffee. Elegant and seamless but with a wild edge to the flavors due to the element of reduction. A bit denser than the Corbeaux, but also quite subtle and suave, with fresh, harmonious acidity. Finishes with fine tannins and very good length. |

Wine Advocate (93)The 2009 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Fontenys is layered with dark cherries, flowers, spices and menthol. This is an especially fleshy, textured Gevrey. The showy personality of the vintage comes through, but there is also plenty of underlying structure and vibrancy. I especially like the intensity of the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2029. |
