Goedhuis, December 2022
Corbeaux means curved hollow in old French, and this vineyard lies in a small dip beside Mazis Chambertin Grand Cru. It is renowned for making charming, approachable wines, and the Serafin’s have 0.45 hectares in a walled vineyard. The first wine in their line-up of Premiers Crus to be aged in 100% new oak. At the time of tasting, it hadn’t been racked so was a little backward in its development. The striking crystalline and crunchy red fruit characters are in harmony with a sweetness on the finish. It has both depth and weight and, with time to evolve, this will be excellent.

Jasper Morris MW, December 2022, Score: 90-92
Mid purple though on the lighter side, a mild reduction. The oak shows more against the lighter style of Corbeaux, and slightly dries the finish. Has not found its harmony yet, but there is something to work with. Drink from 2028-2035.

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.
