Crafted from Pinot Noir vines averaging over 40 years of age, Seguin-Manuel's 'Vieilles Vignes' Bourgogne Rouge is a testament to the depth and resilience of Burgundy's historic vineyards. Sourced from carefully selected parcels across the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits, these old vines dig deep into the classic clay-limestone soils, yielding concentrated grapes that capture the true essence of the region. Under the guidance of Thibaut Marion, who revitalized this historic 1824 house, the wine undergoes traditional fermentation followed by aging in French oak casks. This respectful, low-intervention process coaxes out a vibrant bouquet of ripe red berries, earthy undertones, and a touch of spice, embodying the elegant, terroir-driven style that has defined Burgundy for centuries.
