Tasting notes
Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, the 2014 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers has a gorgeous bouquet with dark berry fruit laced with dried herbs (broom and sorrel), all very well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit. It feels a little saturnine at the moment, good weight in the mouth, and yet it needs to transmit more elegance and terroir expression on the slightly oaky finish. Give this more time, because as I mentioned in my previous note, like many wines from Sérafin, they require time. Tasted September 2017.

(this fruit is always picked at the end, noted winemaker Frédérique Bachotet): Bright, dark red-ruby. Very ripe cherry and chocolate scents. Wonderfully rich, deep wine with a restrained sweetness and noteworthy density to its flavors of redcurrant, spices and saline minerality. The terroir really speaks here. The long finish features lingering earth tones.
Deep ruby-red. Black cherry, black raspberry, coffee, mocha and game on the nose. A step up in sweetness from the previous wines but with lovely supporting acidity giving shape to the silky flavors of purple and black fruits, spices and violet. In a distinctly suave style for this normally very backward wine. Here the tannins harmonize nicely with the wine's fruit. Shows a captivating note of bitter chocolate on the aftertaste.
