DOMAINE SÉRAFIN
Cotes de Nuits, Burgundy
Comprised by notes of dark berries and plum, with an unmistakable earthy layer reminiscent of mushroom. The robust flavors are quite dense and complex with a rustic and serious finish that will age for 10 years with ease. Compare it to Village level and even 1er wines from Gevrey.
Points of Interest
With dark cherry fruit and a complex minerality of earth, wet tobacco, mushroom and leather. The supple, medium bodied palate has balanced tannins that conclude in a serious, lingering finish that offers great depth. A powerful Village level wine.
Points of Interest
With robust dark fruit flavors, there is noticeably more volume and density on the palate with firmly structured tannins and a finish with a hint of bitter cherry pit, liquorice, and forest floor. This is a rustic old-school effort that is expressly built-to-age for more than a decade.
Points of Interest
“Vieilles Vignes”, old vines, with the oldest vines over 100 years and the youngest at 70 years. From meticulously selected parcels with ideal microclimates and terroir. 100% new oak with low toast for 18 months, made from organically grown grapes, with native yeast fermentation. One of their most iconic wines as a producer.
Black cherry and plum with pungent earth and forest floor scents. A mineral-inflected wine with wet stone and wood that integrates well into the muscular frame. A persistent finish with a touch of rusticity, this cool vintage offers up a raspy wine that promises a great future.
Points of Interest
Aromas of wild berries, plum, violet and spice, with moderate wood influence. The palate introduces a sleek medium bodied wine with savory tertiary layers, giving way to a powerful, punchy finish, with balance and freshness. An already pleasing wine that will continue to excite.
Points of Interest
An intensely clean and refined nose of cherry and cassis with spice and coco nib. The palate displays good richness but with plenty of youthful austerity on the even more firmly structured finish. Plenty of minerality and sapidity in the sneaky long finish, Fonteny requires extended aging to reveal its full personality.
Points of Interest
More layered flavors of dense red fruits coat the intense mid-palate density, displaying the beginnings of elegance with a floral nuance that will develop with time. An overtly austere, linear finish reflects the pedigree of this walled, old-vine parcel.
Points of Interest
The nose reflects cassis, dark currant and earth, with good ripeness and a discreet hint of wood. Distinct notes of smoked game lead to a rich palate with the deep minerality broadening into a brooding finish that will continue to develop over a long period of time.
Points of Interest
A relatively deep nose, ripe yet wonderfully fresh with aromas of cassis, black cherry, humus, underbrush, smoke and the classic sauvage notes of a good Charmes. The medium bodied palate is refined with a surprisingly juicy and lush texture. A lingering finish with good focus that will develop perfectly with time.
