Winemaker:Domaine Seguin-Manuel
This was the first wine we ever selected from Seguin-Manuel, back in the 2010 vintage, and that bottle gave many pleasures over a decade, as it aged. Coming partly from the family’s own 50 year-old vineyards, which are organically cultivated, and partly from another plot, this included 25% whole clusters, for fermentation. It aged in 20% new barrels, and is again one of the best wines, and greatest values, in the cellar. Colour is ruby-purple of medium depth, perfume is open and beguiling. Palate shows bright attack, intense fruitiness with medium body, finishing fresh and long (for drinking 2024-2030+).

Winemaker
Domaine Seguin-Manuel
Seguin-Manuel was founded in 1824, however its links with Burgundy vineyards date back as far as 1720. In 2004, the business was bought by Thibaut Marion, from an old Beaune family. We first tasted his wines when the firm was still based in Savigny, in a 14th century vat-house with splendid, vaulted cellars which had been built by the Abbey of Cîteaux. On the outside wall could be seen one of the Latin inscriptions for which Savigny is famous. “If my memory serves me right, there are five reasons for drinking. the arrival of a guest, present and future thirst, the quality of the wines and any other reason you like – 1772." Thibaut’s estate covers 8 hectares, and he fine-tuned the wine-making when he moved to a new winery in Beaune. 2010 was the first vintage we made selections from the nearly 30 appellations they make. Thibaut’s drive for increased quality and focus consistently brings excellent results, and these wines remain superb value.
