Ch Seraphine

Englishman Martin Krajewski purchased 2.23 hectares of vines in Pomerol in late 2016, and promptly rechristened them Château Séraphine, after his Polish grandmother Seraphina (a popular naming device in Bordeaux).

Krajewksi bought 100% Merlot vines ranging from 10 to 55 years old, alongside a plot of land with an old house and winery on it, which was formerly a tiny family estate looking out on the Pomerol village church.

He has since replanted half the vines, adding in some Cabernet Franc, is will have finished construction of a new winery building and château by the 2017 harvest, with wine tourism facilities planned for 2018.
