2008 Seguin Manuel Clos de Vougeot

By billn on April 18, 2010

Deeper colour than the last Clos de Vougeot, a dark aroma fills the glass to match. Muscular and lithe there’s lots of structure here. After the last wine this is really powerful – real grand cru intensity. Lingers quite well. If the last was a lovely wine, this is a grand cru wine.

The oak-led aromas are both tighter and denser. Fresh, tasty though seemingly a little underpowered, then it’s lifted (rescued!) by a late arriving intensity. Lovely flavours and length. Very nice.

Medium, medium-plus colour. Deep red and black-skinned cherries under faint wood spice, the last drops provide a lovely reccurrant note. Lithe, lovely acidity, ripe fruit and good good mid-palate flavour. The tannin is relatively background. Not the density of a Bouchard Père or Tollot-Beaut Lavières, but this is a lovely middle-weight.

2006 Seguin Manuel Bourgogne Chardonnay

By on June 30, 2008 #asides

Only grapes from the Côte de Beaune, a mix of Hautes Côtes and from the village of Meursault. A forward and

fresh nose of faint brioche and attractive fruit. The palate is fresh and smooth and has a nice extra push

of flavour in the mid-palate. A very good generic.

A high-toned, quite floral nose. It’s ripe though the acidity balances it quite well. There is more power in

the finish and a good length too.

2006 Seguin Manuel Meursault Vieilles Vignes

By on June 30, 2008 #asides

From a single vineyard near the Clos du Cromin whose vines are 30 years old. The nose is almost tripping out

of the glass to meet you. In the mouth it’s a little more understated and shows a subtle but impressive

length.

Sourced from the area of Levrons. A forward and quite dense nose. Silky and showing a clear extra

dimension to the lovely fruit. Excellent length too – this is super.

2006 Seguin Manuel Puligny-Montrachet La Garenne

By on June 30, 2008 #asides

A forward, slightly estery nose. Silky and slightly fat with a dense mineral expression – almost oily. Concentrated and lingers in an impressively complex way.

2005 Seguin Manuel Corton-Charlemagne

By on June 30, 2008 #asides

50% new oak used in the elevage. A super nose – very wide and complex. In the mouth it’s mineral and linear yet there is also complexity. Lovely freshness. This is very primary, but is super.
