✨ Why It’s Special

Domaine Sérafin is known for crafting vin de garde—wines built to age gracefully. The 2019 vintage is particularly compelling, combining power and finesse with a classic Gevrey-Chambertin profile. Frédérique Goulley, now leading winemaking, continues the domaine’s tradition of low yields, meticulous vineyard care, and restrained extraction, resulting in a wine that’s both intensely flavored and beautifully balanced.
