✨ Technical Specifications
Seguin-Manuel's Blanc is a classic, beautifully crafted expression of Burgundian Chardonnay, representing an elegant gateway to the historic house's white wine portfolio. Sourced primarily from carefully selected vineyards across the clay-limestone terroirs of Burgundy, this wine benefits from the same meticulous attention to detail as the estate's prestigious premier crus. Under the guidance of Thibaut Marion, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented, with a portion of the juice aged in French oak barrels and the remainder in stainless steel tanks. This thoughtful maturation process preserves the vibrant, fresh fruit character of the Chardonnay grape while imparting a subtle, creamy texture and delicate toasted notes, reflecting the centuries-old winemaking heritage of the Beaune region.
🍾 About the Producer
Originally established in Savigny-lès-Beaune in 1824, Domaine Seguin-Manuel was completely revitalized in 2004 when acquired by Thibaut Marion, a tenth-generation vigneron formerly of Chanson Père & Fils. Relocating headquarters and cellars to Beaune, Marion modernized winemaking facilities and assembled a domaine footprint spanning roughly 8.5 hectares across Savigny-lès-Beaune, Beaune, Pommard, Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, and Vosne-Romanée, supplemented by a meticulous micro-négociant operation. Vineyard management adheres strictly to certified organic viticulture, utilizing rigorous canopy pruning, plowing to encourage deep root penetration, and deliberate low yields. In the cuverie, fruit is hand-harvested and sorted meticulously, followed by gentle vinification with native yeasts and maturation in fine-grained French oak with restrained new wood usage. Seguin-Manuel's benchmark bottlings—such as Beaune Premier Cru Clos des Mouches, Savigny-lès-Beaune Premier Cru Aux Guettes, and Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru La Garenne—embody classical Côte de Beaune precision, marrying pure red and black fruit profiles or flinty mineral tension with supple, well-integrated structural depth.
