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.

94 pts/Top 100 Wine Discoveries 2020- Robert Parker Wine Advocate: “Medium to deep
garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Séraphine comes bounding out of the glass with bold, youthful notes of baked black plums, boysenberries and chocolate-covered cherries
with hints of pencil lead, cast iron pan, clove oil and new leather plus a pinch of black truffles. Medium-bodied, the palate has ethereal weight yet a lot of intensity, delivering mouth-coating black fruits and plush tannins, finishing long and earthy with a mineraltinged skip in its step. This is a very impressive Pomerol from this challenging vintage, but sadly, because of the frosts, less than 100 cases were made this year. Expecting great things in the future from this producer, this is a Château to watch!”
89 - 91 pts - 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.”
