✨ Tekniske specifikationer
This prestigious red Burgundy is a Hospices de Beaune cuvée, acquired at the famous annual charity auction and meticulously raised in the historic cellars of Seguin-Manuel. Named in honor of the 'Dames de la Charité'—the devoted Sisters of Charity who selflessly tended to the sick and destitute at the historic Hôtel-Dieu hospital since the 15th century—this wine is a classic Corton Grand Cru. Crafted entirely from Pinot Noir grown on the limestone-rich slopes of the legendary Hill of Corton, it represents the pinnacle of Burgundy's grand cru heritage. Seguin-Manuel's traditional, low-intervention aging in French oak casks coaxes out the deep complexity, structural power, and refined elegance inherent to this historic terroir, offering a profound expression of dark berries, earthy forest floor, and noble spice.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Maison Seguin-Manuel blev grundlagt i 1824 og er et historisk bourgognehus beliggende i hjertet af Beaune. Vingården tog hul på en dynamisk, ny æra i 2004, da den blev overtaget af Thibaut Marion, som selv stammer fra en traditionsrig bourgogneslægt. Han restaurerede de historiske kældre og udvidede ejendommens vinmarker betydeligt. Domænet drives efter certificerede økologiske principper med fokus på bæredygtig vindyrkning, lave udbytter og en nænsom, klassisk vinificering, der lader Bourgognes unikke terroir skinne rent igennem. Seguin-Manuel er særligt anerkendt for sin elegante og udtryksfulde portefølje af Pinot Noir- og Chardonnay-vine fra førende appellationer i både Côte de Beaune og Côte de Nuits.
