✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the cool, limestone-rich slopes of Savigny-lès-Beaune, the 'Les Clous' climat is highly regarded for producing white Burgundy of exceptional tension and mineral drive. The name 'Clous' is a historical nod to the ancient stone-walled enclosures ('clos') that once dotted this hilly landscape. Crafted from 100% Chardonnay, Seguin-Manuel's expression of this terroir benefits from organic farming practices and a gentle, low-intervention vinification. Fermented and aged in French oak casks with a judicious use of new wood, the wine beautifully balances the natural, crisp acidity of the high-altitude site with a subtle, creamy texture and notes of white flowers, flint, and fresh pear. It stands as a testament to the elegance and precision that modern Burgundy can achieve when respecting historical terroirs.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1824, Maison Seguin-Manuel is a historic Burgundy producer located in the heart of Beaune, France. The estate entered a dynamic new era in 2004 when it was acquired by Thibaut Marion, born into a multi-generational Burgundian wine family, who revitalized its historic cellars and expanded its vineyard holdings. Operating with certified organic farming methods, the domaine emphasizes sustainable viticulture, low yields, and gentle, traditional vinification to honor the purity of Burgundy's terroir. Seguin-Manuel is renowned for its elegant, expressive range of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines spanning premier appellations across both the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits.
