Goedhuis, December 2023
Karine and Frédérique’s policy of destemming all the bunches ahead of vinification accentuates the clarity of fruit in this fine appellational cuvée. Red berry and cherry, sweet and poised with a light lift of mouth-watering salinity and a charming, unforced depth on the finish.

Burghound, January 2024, Score: 88-91
Notes of wood and menthol are present on the cooler aromas of wild red currant, plum and plenty of sauvage character. The lilting and relatively refined medium weight flavors are shaped by fine-grained tannins on the balanced and youthfully austere finale. This well-made effort could also be approached young but it has the stuffing to repay up to a decade of cellaring. Drinking 2030+.

Jancis Robinson, December 2023, Score: 16
50% new oak, 50% one wine. Cask sample. Bright mid-pale cherry. Pure red fruits on the nose. Lightly toned, racy red fruit on the palate. There is elegance, even a bitter complexity on the finish. Quite classic. (MH) Drink 2025-2030.

Jasper Morris MW, November 2023, Score: 89-91
Pretty crimson purple. An attractive fresh fruit. Plenty on the palate without immense density, but an excellent sense of balance. There is enough fruit to cover the oak. Drink from 2028-2034.

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
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.
