  • Goedhuis, December 2023

    Named after the source of a spring to the village, this vineyard has a natural supply of moisture, and the east/west aspect of the vineyard ensures exposure to sunshine throughout the day. The underlying water maintained the lively vigour of the vines in 2022, which at the same time lapped up the daytime sunshine. Savoury, wild hedgerow fruit characters, a very prominent minerality, with poise and finishing with fine pinot purity.

  • Burghound, January 2024, Score: 91-93

    Ripe, elegant, pure and fresh aromas of spiced plum, violet and a whiff of humus are trimmed in similar notes of wood and menthol. The notably finer, and notably more mineral-driven, middleweight flavors possess both good volume and a certain mid-palate generosity before terminating in a youthfully austere, balanced and sneaky long finale. This is also quite compact but packed with development potential. Drinking 2032+.

  • Jancis Robinson, December 2023, Score: 16.5+

    North-facing. 0.33 ha (0.81 acre). 70-year-old vines. Cask sample. Very clear dark-mid cherry. Fresh, bright red fruits, red cherries and redcurrant. Lifted and refined. Red fruits of raspberry and cherry on the palate. There’s a certain earthiness here, too, dense and compact. Fine, elegant powdery tannins, smoothly integrated and guiding a long, elegant finish. Good length. (MH) Drink 2028-2038.

  • Jasper Morris MW, November 2023, Score: 92-95

    Just 4 barrels, very small grapes, and they have now pulled out a bit which was hardly giving fruit (one third in all). Intense purple in colour with a super energetic deep raspberry fruit. Good acidity, altogether a more robust style of wine which will take considerable time.

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.
