Goedhuis, December 2021
The Sérafins own a third of a hectare of this Grand Cru across two different parcels: one within Mazoyères Chambertin and the other in Charmes Chambertin. This is a superb Grand Cru, with big bold wild autumnal fruit flavours, and a touch of liquorice and cocoa. A combination of direct firm intensity and bold volume, the texture of new oak provides a further dimension, before the sweetness of dark fruits come back on the finish. Superb.

Matthew Jukes, January 2022, Score: 18.5+
This is a richer and more textural wine than the others, and it is also fairly structured for this particular vineyard. Still, everything is present, and the tannins are certainly firm enough to drive it forwards for a good two decades. The mid-palate is the star ingredient here, and it is as pure and focussed as one would expect in a wine of this calibre.

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
Charmes Chambertin
Charmes-Chambertin is one of the nine Grand Crus vineyards within the Gevrey Chambertin area. On gentle slopes, sheltered from the elements by woods to the north, gravelly soil forces the vines to work hard. Relatively large for a Grand Cru appellation, it is hard to generalise about the wines. Often intensely perfumed and seductive, Charmes-Chambertin can be approachable earlier than its Grand Crus neighbours.
