The Gevrey-Chambertin 2006 from Serafin is showing gorgeously. The nose is offering complex and maturing notes - fine fruit with notes of cherries, raspberries and some tertiary sous-bois hints.

Domaine Serafin, Charmes Chambertin 1996
The Chames Chambertin 1996 was sadly not showing as well as the 1995 tasted at the same occation. It's a fine wine .. still alive and kicking - but the 1996 never had the charming exuberant fruit of the 1995.

The wine really display the qualities of 2007 when they … [Read more...] about Domaine Serafin, Gevrey Chambertin 2007
