Description
This is the seventh vintage that Thibaut Marion has owned Vosne-Romanée vines – a rare and precious addition to his cellar. Having experimented with adding a proportion of whole bunches (for vintages 2013-17) Thibaut has concluded that, for this vineyard, 100% de-stemming gives more flesh and volume to the wine, so this was the policy followed for the 2019. Colour is red-purple of medium depth, aromas being finely fruity, very open. Palate is ample, elegant and rich, with harmonious, gentle tannins, and refreshing, delicate finish (for drinking 2022-2028+).

Domaine Seguin-Manuel
Seguin-Manuel was founded in 1824, however its links with Burgundy vineyards date back as far as 1720. Recently, the business was bought by Thibaut Marion, from an old Beaune family. We first tasted his wines when the firm was still based in Savigny, in a 14th century vat-house with splendid, vaulted cellars which had been built by the Abbey of Cîteaux. On the outside wall could be seen one of the Latin inscriptions for which Savigny is famous. “If my memory serves me right, there are five reasons for drinking. the arrival of a guest, present and future thirst, the quality of the wines and any other reason you like – 1772.”
Thibaut’s estate covers 5 hectares, and he fine-tuned the wine-making when he moved to a new winery in Beaune. 2010 was the first vintage we made selections from the nearly 30 appellations they make. Thibaut’s drive for increased quality and focus consistently brings excellent results, and these wines remain superb value.
