2009 | Serafin Pere & Fils | Gevrey-Chambertin

Medium red. Full-blown aromas of coffee, mocha and game. Less fruity than the basic village wine but dense, sweet and nicely fresh, with a deep middle and plenty of medicinal reserve. Finishes with substantial dusty tannins and persistent notes of chocolate, coffee and underbrush.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2009 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes offers up freshly cut flowers, dark red berries, mint and licorice. The Vieilles Vignes presents an attractive combination of fleshiness from the vintage married to the energy of Gevrey.

• Allen Meadows: Here the nose is not only slightly riper but it's also notably more complex with sauvage and stone notes on the pungently earthy dark berry fruit aromas. The dense and altogether serious middle weight flavors are shaped by the very firm, indeed almost chewy, tannins on the extract-rich and palate staining finish.

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.
