Produced from 66 year old vines, this 1er Cru is situated immediately next to the famous Clos Saint Jacques vineyard. Four years ago, the family increased their holding of this great 1er Cru to 0.33ha, after realizing that Christian Sérafin’s garden was within the appellation boundaries!

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.

Always the last 1er Cru to be picked, this a deep, brooding wine full of muscle and power – a classic Gevrey-Chambertin. Yet there is also a seductive element to this wine, with a stoney minerality underpinning the core of black cassis fruits. Perfectly balanced this is a remarkable wine.
