2015 | Sérafin Père et Fils | Charmes-Chambertin

Good freshness and underlying tension to the big-bodied, powerful and impressively constituted flavors that brim with dry extract while offering outstanding complexity on the balanced, firm and brilliantly persistent finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2015 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru has a very intense and powerful bouquet with dark cherries, blackcurrant, iodine and pressed violet aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, yes, a little oaky at the moment, but there is clearly sufficient fruit to back that up and it fans out gloriously towards the blood orange infused finish. This is wonderful.

• Vinous: Bright red-ruby. Aromas of blackberry, black cherry and violet. Supple, savory and fine-grained, with dark berry fruit flavors complicated by a hint of game and enticing salty minerality. This wonderfully plush grand cru finishes with suave tannins and lovely fruit persistence. In its usual refined style, and built for a graceful evolution in bottle.

Producer Information

Sérafin Père et Fils, also known as Domaine Christian Sérafin, is a Burgundian estate based in Gevrey-Chambertin, producing wines from Pinot Noir across Gevrey and neighboring appellations in the Côte de Nuits. It has been held in high regard both at home and in export markets since a run of excellent vintages in the 1990s. The estate was formed in 1947 by Polish immigrant Stanislaus Sérafin, who had previously worked as a mason. His son Christian inherited the business in 1988, having been winemaker for the previous two decades. Now himself retired, his winemaker niece and his daughter run the estate. There are just 5.18 hectares (12.8 acres) of vineyards. About half of these are village-level Gevrey-Chambertin. There are also parcels in three premier cru vineyards in the village, plus a precious 0.31 hectare (0.77 acre) plot in Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru. The portfolio is completed by premier cru wines from Chambolle-Musigny and Morey-Saint-Denis, small amounts of Bourgogne Pinot Noir and a few rows of Bourgogne Chardonnay.
