Serafin Pere et Fils Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru 2007

Robert Parker: Notes of game and animal fur convey a decidedly different cast to Serafin’s 2007 Charmes-Chambertin from any of his other 2007s, and these are allied to generously ripe cassis and black raspberry. Quite corseted in tannin, this is nonetheless full of fruit concentration, with notes of bitter chocolate, licorice, vanilla, and peony adding alluring complexity. As with the in many respects similar Cazetiers, this seems to have energy and sap to burn. What’s more, there is a saliva-inducing, saline savor in the finish that I miss with other Serafin wines of this or the 2008 vintage. 92 pts
