Goedhuis, December 2019
This cuvée is a blend of two parcels in the village: one 70 years old and the other 100 years old. This Gevrey is a tremendous example of the quality and complexity of old vine fruit. Rich in bramble fruit flavours, it has low yield intensity, whilst remaining generous and succulent. The flow of freshness throughout the palate refreshes and excites.

Burghound, January 2020, Score: 88-90
iqueur-like aromas include those of black cherry and raspberry while displaying background notes of game, barnyard and earth. The denser and more powerful big-bodied flavors possess excellent concentration while displaying very firm tannins on the lingering finish. This is a big wine that is decidedly old school in style.

Jasper Morris MW, January 2020, Score: 87-91
70 to 100 year old now. A luxurious rich purple colour, with a sumptuous rich fruit on the nose. Brett? Fine rich fruit fills the mouth followed by sterner wood tannins which help impart a certain freshness. Quite a long finish, but you need to like them chunky. 100% new wood.

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
Gevrey Chambertin
The greatest village in terms of notable grand cru vineyards, Gevrey Chambertin has no less than 9 of them including its most famous Chambertin and Chambertin Clos de Bèze, and includes a premier cru vineyard that many people deem grand cru in quality - Clos St. Jacques. It encompasses approximately 400 hectares under vine also making it the largest top quality vineyard area in the Côte de Nuits. Gevrey-Chambertin has many followers who seek out its deeply coloured, robust and textured wines. They are often firmer than the neighbouring appellations of Chambolle Musigny and Vosne Romanée and can take several years to soften once released. Due to its size and reputation, the list of excellent producers is noteworthy and many are worth seeking out.
