Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes Christian Sérafin Père et Fils 2005

The second generation runs the Sérafin family domaine in Gevrey-Chambertin. This small, 6 hectare domaine of organic farming extends over Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny and Morey-Saint-Denis. The wines, with rich and mature fruits and subject to subtle élevage, are particularly appreciated by critics and wine guides, despite the fact that the domaine is highly discreet. References are thus made of the domaine at restaurants such as Bristol or Taillevent and yet its name means nothing to many amateurs!

Gevrey Chambertin combines power and elegance beautifully. It has quite a powerful nose for Pinot Noir, with aromas of red and dark fruit (cherry stands out). The palate offers an elegant structure, nice balance and softened tannins.
