Goedhuis, December 2011
Though this Millandes is still fairly closed on the nose, it is bright and fairly explosive on the palate with lots of juicy, sweet fruit and subtle notes of almonds and spice. Its polished personality is Morey through and through. It finishes fresh and lifted.

Burghound, January 2013, Score: 92
A brooding though ripe red berry fruit and wet stone suffused nose also displays plenty of earth influence. There is fine power and focus to the medium-bodied and, again, overtly muscular flavors that possess fully mature shaping tannins and excellent verve on the robust and very firmly structured finish that delivers impressive persistence along with a hint of rusticity. This large-scaled effort possesses an abundance of buffering extract and it should amply reward 15+ years of cellar time. Drink 2025+

Burghound, January 2012, Score: 91-93
Mild reduction does not significantly impair an appreciation for the ripe red berry fruit and wet stone suffused nose. There is fine power and focus to the medium-bodied and again, overtly muscular flavors that possess ripe shaping tannins and excellent verve on the robust and very firmly structured finish that delivers impressive persistence. This large-scaled effort possesses an abundance of buffering extract and it should amply reward 12 to 15 years of cellar time. Drink: 2022+.Comments: outstanding!

The Sérafin family are part of the establishment in Gevrey Chambertin. From when he took over from his father in the 1960 until his recent retirement, if you ever want to get in touch with Christian, you either had to call him as the rooster crowed in the morning or long after the sun had set. The rest of the time, he was working out in the vines or deep in his cellars. The domaine is now run by cousins Frédérique and Karin...Read more
The Sérafin family are part of the establishment in Gevrey Chambertin. From when he took over from his father in the 1960 until his recent retirement, if you ever want to get in touch with Christian, you either had to call him as the rooster crowed in the morning or long after the sun had set. The rest of the time, he was working out in the vines or deep in his cellars. The domaine is now run by cousins Frédérique and Karine who are continuing the family tradition of making bold and structured wines. Their Pinots benefit from a period of bottle age and typically express fine tertiary characteristics. They do not fine or filter their wines, and only rack when necessary. Not shy of new oak, they use up to 50% on their straight Bourgogne and often 100% on the rest of their cuvées depending on the concentration. The wines tend to be ample and fleshy, and the richest ones need some cellaring in order to better integrate the spicy, cedarwood flavours.Read less

Morey St. Dénis often suffers from an identity crisis. They are more fruit forward than the wines of Gevrey Chambertin, yet more structured than those of Chambolle Musigny. It seems in this sensethat they are like middle children, always wanting to please yet not standing out as the noisy one or the notably quiet one. They are however crowd pleasers and for those who feel that Gevreys are too muscular and Chambolles too feminine; Moreys seem just right, offering velvety tannins and tangible fruit. The village offers five grand cru vineyards including Clos de la Roche, Clos St. Dénis and Clos des Lambrays which nonetheless can rival those of neighbouring villages in terms of quality (some even view them as the best in the Côte de Nuits) and various premier cru vineyards.
