2017 Vosne-Romanee Aux Communes, Domaine Seguin-Manuel

This is the fifth vintage that Thibaut Marion has owned Vosne-Romanée vines – a rare and precious addition to this cellar. The wine aged in 25% new oak barrels. Colour is ruby-purple of medium depth, the nose showing mouth-wateringly fresh Pinot Noir character. The attack is impressive, leading into richly concentrated fruitiness in mid-palate, finishing with gentle, firm tannins. A beautifully balanced wine (for drinking 2021-2028+).
