2018 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru, Domaine Seguin-Manuel

Here is another Grand Cru we are offering for the 3rd year running. It has been ageing in a new oak barrel, of tight-grained new oak, whose staves had been weathered in the open air for 3 years. Having done many trials with different types of oak from different coopers, Thibaut believes this is the best way of achieving perfect integration of oak in the final wine. Solid ruby-purple in colour, this has plentiful, abundantly fresh aromas. Palate shows concentrated, exhilarating fruitiness, with supple tannins and a fresh, sweet finish with lovely length (for drinking 2022-2032+).
