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.

Towards the bottom of the clos so plenty of clay in the soil. A more forward nose whose aromas go deeper

still than the Gevrey. Velvet texture and mouthfilling. Lots of tannin, chocolate flavours and a long

diminuendo of a finish. Not quite austere, but close. Very good.

From Les Combes which is near Vigne au Saint. The nose starts slightly reduced but swirling brings

ever-fresher notes. Mouthfilling, with plenty of slightly grainy tannin. The fruit is pure and flows on

through the finish. Good balance here

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.
