Serafin, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Le Fonteny, 2010

Classic, age-worthy Gevrey-Chambertin from a domaine renowned for old vines, low yields, and the confident use of new oak. Serafin Pere et Fils, long led by Christian Serafin and now his daughter Karine and niece Frederique, farms barely five hectares but punches well above it, making structured, concentrated reds built to age. This Le Fonteny Premier Cru sits on the cooler, higher slopes of Gevrey, giving a wine with both power and lift. The 2010 was a beautiful, classically structured Burgundy vintage, and this bottle is now drinking in its prime, rich, deep, and savory.
