Fine, elegant purple; as always, this isn’t as dark as some cuvées. Bright red cherry mingles with some raspberry notes; the wine is structured, with a tad of oak tannin, and good length. This is – as ever – a refined and sensitive Gevrey.

Though we still have the pleasure of tasting with Christian Sérafin, it is now his niece, Frédérique who is solely responsible for winemaking. Christian describes 2014 as being all about elegance and balance, with neither too much acidity nor tannin. The Sérafin wines always repay patience.

Dense purple with a delicious bouquet with floral notes alongside the fruit. Fills the palate with grace, elegance, ripe fruit and real concentration. Stays fresh as well.

Christian Sérafin is very happy with how 2013 worked out in the end, though yields were once again 25% below normal, even if a touch more than in 2012. The team removed rot and unripe bunches in the vineyard, then waited to pick until after the wet weekend which helped both sugar and acidity.

Bright purple with a graceful elegant nose. As always this is more about finesse than power but it is dnse all the same, with some blackberry and dark raspberry notes. Very exciting. A touch of oak helps lengthen the finish.

Denis started on 5^th October and he reports a decent crop in some appellations but least in Bourgogne Rouge (rot) and Charmes-Chambertin (poor flowering of the old vines). He maintained his usual vinification techniques, making wines which impress in youth but really need a decade to show at their best. His 2013s show Denis at his magical best.

This is very fine, with beautiful and lively dark currant fruit leading the nose and judged with perfect extraction. Succulent fruit comes to the fore through the middle, yet it still shows delicacy with good tannins and excellent length.
Jasper Morris MW, Burgundy Director

The last few vintages have shown a freshening up of the Srafin style, though absolutely not at the expense of the concentration which is a hallmark of this domaine. The concentration of the fruit comes from their meticulous work in the vineyards, the fresher style from a little less extraction during fermentation. Christian himself thinks that 2010 is notably more concentrated than 2009 and as everywhere else, yields are down this year.

Glowing purple in colour with an exuberant weight of dark cherries and raspberry fruit, this exciting wine is perfectly poised with superb balance.
