Christian Serafin outperformed the majority of his neighbors in Gevrey-Chambertin in 2007, but his lighter 2008s seem destined to evolve over the medium term. He cut the leaves on the north side of the vines in July, eliminated the verjus in August, then pulled leaves on the south side of the plants in early September. He still described the ultimate yields as normal and brought in fruit with potential alcohol ranging from 11% to 12.8% (for the Charmes-Chambertin). For his part, Serafin compares the 2008s to the 2006s (as well as to earlier vintages like 2001 and 1998), noting that his 2007s are riper, fuller-bodied and likely to age longer.

Christian Serafin was one of the few winemakers I visited this fall who told me that the 2007 vintage brought higher acidity levels and more density of material than 2006. He believes the new vintage will last longer. Clearly, Serafin derived advantage in this early growing season from his extensive use of clone 309, which generally ripens later and retains good acidity. He picked between September 3 and 9, with potential alcohol ranging from 12% to 12.8%. (Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, D.C.)
