  • Goedhuis, December 2023

    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 Serafins have 0.45 hectares in a walled vineyard. This is the first wine in their line-up of Premiers Crus to be aged in 100% new oak, and the weight of fruit in this superb cuvée fully justifies it. Mocha and bitter chocolate bouquet, the linear directness and intensity is kept perfectly in check by a lush roundness on the finish, with a lasting and endearing sweetness.

  • Burghound, January 2024, Score: 90-93

    Moderate wood influence is again present on the slightly cooler and more elegant nose of red currant, dark cherry and a hint of smoked game quality. The sleek and intense larger-bodied flavors also flash good power and a subtle bead of minerality on the dusty, youthfully austere and well-balanced finale. This is quite compact today and will need at least a few years of patience and should reward a decade plus. Drinking 2032+.

  • Jancis Robinson, December 2023, Score: 16.5

    0.45 ha (1.1 acres). 55-year-old vines. 100% new oak. Cask sample. Mid-pale cherry. Floral nose, roses and peonies. Raspberry on the palate complexed by vanilla and spice from the oak. Real elegance and classic Pinot savour. Fine, elegant well-knit tannins and a full finish. (MH) Drink 2028-2038.

  • Jasper Morris MW, November 2023, Score: 91-94

    A pinkish purple, as usual on the lighter and more elegant side. Slightly drier wood effect at the finish, and though it seems less intense than the Gevrey Vieilles Vignes, at the finish the fruit extends much further. Floral, elegant, balanced. Drink from 2030-2036.

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.
