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.

A very ripe, sweet and muscular Gevrey, quite seductive on the nose with an edge of ripe red fruits. There is a lovely sense of terroir here, chalky limestone and a touch of menthol, wrapped around the core of seductively sweet and lush red and black cherry, kirsch and sweet vanilla oak.

Enjoy with the finest beef, lamb or game you can afford.

Fermented in 70% new oak and aged for 18 months.
