Domaine Christian Sérafin

This domaine produces some of the finest, traditional wines of the Gevrey Appellation. Frédérique Goulley, the niece of Christian Sérafin, who has been working alongside her uncle for over ten years now, is now very much the winemaking driving force at the domaine, while Christian slows down. Although the baton has been handed over, the wine making philosophy hasn’t changed. These wines are hand crafted, with old vines and low yields central to the winemaking here. A cool ten day maceration helps create a stunning richness and concentration with the diligent use of new oak and the non-filtration of the wines being key to the Sérafin style. They continue to destem around 70% of the bunches. The grapes are fermented at a relatively high temperature and enjoy up to 100% new oak ageing.

Deeply coloured, rich, svelte and succulent, this is a Chambolle that has risen to the vintage. Highly textured, its core of sweet dark fruits has a lovely balancing minerality and distinct freshness, with a spicy edge courtesy of 18 months in 100% new oak. The finish is long, balanced, complex and brooding.

Goes well with raspberry marinated rack of lamb.

100% destemmed, coming in at a healthy yield of 48hl/ha. Fermented in 100% new oak and aged for 18 months.
