✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
