Domaine Seguin-Manuel Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2023

Drink it now or cellar for up to 8 years. No need to decant. Located in Beaune, in the heart of Burgundy, Domaine Seguin-Manuel was founded in 1824 and acquired by Thibaut Marion in 2004. Today, the estate covers approximately 8.5 hectares of organically farmed vineyards. In recent years, Thibaut Marion has also expanded his wine portfolio to include several Burgundy grands crus such as Charmes-Chambertin, Chambertin Clos de Bèze, Clos Vougeot, and Échezeaux. The Pinot Noir grapes come from several plots located in different villages of the Côte de Beaune and Côte Chalonnaise, including (depending on the vintage) Pommard, Chorey-lès-Beaune, Monthélie, Volnay, and Auxey-Duresses. Here, the clay-limestone soils and the microclimate, characterized by three main influences (southern, oceanic, and continental), favor the production of a balanced and easy-drinking wine. After harvesting and vinification, the wine is aged for a year in oak barrels. In the glass, Domaine Seguin-Manuel Bourgogne Pinot Noir reveals a clear, dark ruby ​​color. Its aromatic profile is fresh and fragrant, dominated primarily by notes of red fruits and dried flowers. On the palate, it is elegant and balanced, easy to drink, and rounded. It has good fruit concentration and fine, well-integrated tannins. It's versatile with food, pairing well with hearty fish like salmon, or duck, and mountain hams.
