About this winery

This estate was created in 1947 by Stanislaus Serafin, a Polish immigrant who arrived in France in the late 1930s. His son Christian joined him in 1957 and expanded the estate.

Product notes

Charmes‑Chambertin delivers aristocratic intensity without compromising finesse. It balances power and grace, ideal with game or fine red meats, and is built for aging—best enjoyed between 2025 and 2045 depending on vintage

Production notes

Crafted from two parcels in Charmes and Mazoyères with average vine age of 75 years, the Pinot Noir is fully de-stemmed and fermented conventionally with punch-downs, then aged for 18 months in 100% new oak to build structure and depth

Tasting notes
