Tasting notes
Dark red-ruby. The nose displays an almost port-like ripeness to the aromas of black cherry, bitter chocolate and licorice. Rich, dense and sweet in the mouth, displaying excellent depth and a suggestion of chocolatey ripeness to its dark berry and black cherry fruit flavors. With more obvious underlying minerality than the basic village offering, this wine finishes with notable finesse. An excellent village offering.

Matured in 100% new oak, the 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes has clean and pure blackberry and Bakewell tart aromas on the nose that gradually unfold. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, mineral-driven with fine tension and a keen line of acidity on the structured finish that just needs to manifest more persistence on the aftertaste. Otherwise, this is very fine.
Solid and chestnutty. Something alpine and woody about this somehow. Though there is fruit too. Serious. (JR)
(this wine and all of Sérafin's crus get 100% new oak): Bright ruby-red. Tighter and higher-pitched on the nose than the basic village offering, displaying aromas of boysenberry, licorice and violet. A compellingly sweet, bright village wine with the intensity of a premier cru. This impeccably balanced wine finishes with suave tannins and excellent length and lift. The crop level here was a moderate 35 hectoliters per hectare, according to winemaker Frédérique Bachotet.
