Christian Serafin, his own toughest critic, describes his '97s as "good, elegant wines without a lot in reserve. If the thirst-quenching rain had come a bit earlier, 1997 might have been an outstanding year." Yet Serafin low yields are obvious in the concentration of these wines. Nineteen ninety six has turned out to be a special year here as Serafin waited an extra week to harvest and was rewarded with splendidly ripe fruit. Serafin suggests drinking his recent good vintages in the following order: 1997, '96, '95, then '93. (Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, D.C.)

While most of his Gevrey neighbors began picking their '96 crop on the first full weekend of the harvest, Christian Serafin waited patiently, ultimately picking much of his crop the following weekend under very warm, sunny conditions. He benefitted from riper skins and significantly higher grape sugars: around 13.2% for his two top wines, according to Serafin. In contrast to most of his colleagues, Serafin had higher pHs in '96 than in the previous year. The '96s were a bit reduced in November, and the plan was to keep the wines on their lees until the bottling. (Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, D.C.)
