Producer InformationSérafin Père et Fils, also known as Domaine Christian Sérafin, is a Burgundian estate based in Gevrey-Chambertin, producing wines from Pinot Noir across Gevrey and neighboring appellations in the Côte de Nuits. It has been held in high regard both at home and in export markets since a run of excellent vintages in the 1990s. The estate was formed in 1947 by Polish immigrant Stanislaus Sérafin, who had previously worked as a mason. His son Christian inherited the business in 1988, having been winemaker for the previous two decades. Now himself retired, his winemaker niece and his daughter run the estate. There are just 5.18 hectares (12.8 acres) of vineyards. About half of these are village-level Gevrey-Chambertin. There are also parcels in three premier cru vineyards in the village, plus a precious 0.31 hectare (0.77 acre) plot in Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru. The portfolio is completed by premier cru wines from Chambolle-Musigny and Morey-Saint-Denis, small amounts of Bourgogne Pinot Noir and a few rows of Bourgogne Chardonnay.
