Nestled in the heart of Pomerol, here is the 2017 vintage from Château Séraphine. 100% Merlot, the wine shows great elegance and finesse with aromas of fine fresh black fruit overlaid with subtle smoky notes of wild strawberries, blackberries, cherries and cassis, with just a touch of spice and white pepper. On the palate, the wine is velvety soft, displaying rich silky tannins well supported by a further impressive register of red and black fruits running through the core, with delicate hints of chocolate and mocha that combine well to present a long, pleasant and persistent finish.
Vinous
The 2017 Séraphine is the first vintage from proprietor Martin Krajewski who purchased Château Montbrun in 2016 and renamed it thus. “It was hard to know what we were going to get,” remarked his daughter and winemaker Charlotte Krajewski. Fortunately they escaped frost damage. The property comes with two parcels, one located on a gravel ridge close to Mazeyres and the other close to La Pointe, combined they make 2.2-hectares. It was picked from 16 September until the end of the month and it is matured in 50% new oak using partial fermentation in barrel. The parcel of Cabernet Franc has been replanted half with Merlot and half with Cabernet Franc. It has a clean and pure bouquet with attractive red and blue fruit with an underlying floral/violet scent that gains intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied, quite plump in style, rounded in texture with soft silky tannin, laden with black cherry, raspberry and hints of dark chocolate towards the delineated finish. This is a very commendable debut for Martin Krajewski’s property, the latest and welcome addition to the Pomerol firmament. Less than 1,000 bottles produced. Neal Martin1st May 2018
