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 profound and captivating nose bursts with black cassis and a hedgerow freshness. On the palate the wine is powerful and structured with chewy integrated tannins providing a firm backbone beneath a core of deep and dark concentrated fruit. There is a striking sense of energy and presence, a real “boom” as the powerful underlay of minerality and freshness drives the long, and lingering finish. Intense, layered and utterly compelling, this is a superb Morey-Saint-Denis that encapsulates power, complexity and finesse.
