Château Séraphine Pomerol 2020

Château Séraphine is a small and relatively young Pomerol estate that has swiftly gained recognition and adoration from both critics and wine lovers around the world. Rigorous vineyard management and attentive vinification have catapulted this estate into icon status, and we’re thrilled to have their 2020 release for the lowest price in the country.

Properties in Pomerol don’t come on the market very often, so when two estates (Chateau Monbrun and Clos Picassou) were for sale in 2016, father and daughter duo Martin and Charlotte Krajewski knew it was a rare opportunity. The purchase was made, and the following year, they merged the properties, renaming the new winery to form Château Séraphine. Although the estate is young, don’t let its novelty fool you... this is a family that knows what it's doing in the way of farming vines and making magnificent, age-worthy wine.

Business and wine prowess aside, this is a pair who, at their core, are all about family. The winery is named after Martin’s grandmother, paying homage to his Polish farming heritage, along with Pomerol’s captivating history. The winemaking approach is simple: to gently coax the wines from field to bottle, and to intervene as little as possible. The 2020 Pomerol is 100% Merlot, crafted with an exquisite attention to detail. It offers endless elegance, with deep and evocative notes of raspberries dipped in chocolate and plum preserves, alongside truffle and violets, finishing with layers of clove, earth, and crushed gravel. Truly mesmerizing stuff at a mind-melting price that you’ll be thrilled to try.

PAIRING IDEAS: These braised chicken legs feel like a warm hug with this rich and sultry Pomerol, and there’s nothing more satisfying on a crisp December evening.
