Domaine Serafin Pere & Fils Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru "Les Baudes" 2010 (AM:91)

Domaine Sérafin Pere & Fils is run by second-generation vigneron Christian Sérafin. The house and cellars are situated just below the premier cru vineyard Les Cazetiers, at the top of the wine-growing village of Gevrey-Chambertin, in Burgundy’s legendary Cote d’Or region. The domaine encompasses 5.3 hectares of vines in the communes Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey-St.-Denis, and Chambolle-Musigny, including plots in numerous well-placed premier cru vineyards. The viticulture is completely organic.

Appellation:
AOC Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru, Cote de Nuits, Burgundy

Country of Origin:
Burgundy, France

Type:
Red/Rouge (Still)

Grape Variety:
Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes:
There is also a subtle if not invisible touch of wood present on the ripe and relatively deeply pitched nose that offers up red and dark berry liqueur aromas that are liberally laced with hints of wet stone. There is impressive intensity and delineation to the mineral-inflected medium weight plus flavors that possess a sleekly muscular palate feel, all wrapped in a dusty and highly energetic finish. This is refined enough to remind one of its Chambolle roots though the close proximity to Bonnes Mares is also very much in evidence.
