Goedhuis, December 2023
This fine vineyard lying alongside Bonnes Mares Grand Cru takes its name from the small huts (bodes) that once existed in remote spots in the vineyards. Often a bolder style of Chambolle, resembling Morey or Gevrey in weight and depth. A compote of bramble fruits, with an excellent substance lying beneath a wine which has a silky personality, the tannins are subtle in their sandstone nature. A chic cuvée with a rewardingly persistent finish.

Burghound, January 2024, Score: 91-94
Here too generous wood fights somewhat with the fresh and ripe aromas of poached plum, black cherry liqueur and pretty spice and floral aromas. There is again excellent volume and richness to the utterly delicious larger-bodied flavors that coat the palate with sappy dry extract while displaying excellent power and drive on the compact, serious and equally built-to-age finale that is more complex. This is impressive though like all quality examples of Les Baudes, a wine built to repay extended keeping. Drinking 2034+.

0.33 ha (0.82 acre) across two parcels, one-third 70 and two-thirds 60 years old. Cask sample. Mid cherry. Lovely sweet red-cherry and redcurrant nose, like just-picked fruit and flowers. Fresh, lifted acidity offers real brightness and clarity to the fruit. This is elegant and sublimely refined. Finely meshed, silky tannins. Real balance between sweetness and fine acidity. (MH) Drink 2028-2038.

Jasper Morris MW, November 2023, Score: 90-93
A rich dark purple. Rather reduced. The first to be picked, chunky and toasty from the barrel, lacking a little Chambolle elegance though it does have a pleasing plump dark fruit. The Sérafin style may be less well suited to Chambolle-Musigny than Gevrey-Chambertin. Drink from 2031-2037.

Domaine Sérafin Père et Fils
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
Region
Chambolle Musigny
The wines of Chambolle Musigny are like no other. They can be superbly delicate, yet mindblowingly complex. Of all the northern Burgundy appellations, they are the most ethereal, and as a result the most feminine. Most of the Chambolle Musigny vineyard area is encompassed in its Village and Premier Cru appellations including the robust Beaux Bruns, the splendidly mineral Le Cras and the poised yet powerful Les Amoureuses. It produces only two Grand Crus - the round and rich Bonnes Mares which it shares with Morey St. Dénis, as well as what could be described as the Stradivarius of grand crus, Musigny.
