2015 Gevrey-Chambertin, Domaine Sérafin Père & Fils, Burgundy

A fresh, clear purple colour, this wine has bright, medium red fruit on the nose with some light coffee notes. These aren’t replicated on the palate, where the fruit is juicy and delicious, actually quite elegant. This is a lovely balanced Gevrey-Chambertin for the medium term. Drink 2020-2026.

Christian Sérafin’s niece Frédérique follows very much in her uncle’s footsteps, using the same vinification and maturing principles as before, though possibly with a fractionally lighter touch. She is also reviewing the management of the soil in the vineyards to encourage more microbial life. They made what turned out to be the excellent decision not to do any leaf plucking in 2015, thus avoiding any burning of the grapes and so maintaining a respectable yield.
