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 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.

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.

2006 Seguin Manuel Bourgogne Pinot Noir

By on June 30, 2008 #asides

From several plots dotted around the Hautes-Côtes, Chorey and Savigny. The nose majors on a wide expanse of

strawberry fruit. In the mouth it’s soft, tasty and also shares the strawberry impression. Far from

‘simple’, there’s decent tannin behind and a good length. Very successful.

2006 Seguin Manuel Savigny-lès-Beaune Vieilles Vignes

By on June 30, 2008 #asides

From vines averaging over 60 years-old in the flat part of the appellation., but still red. Again from more

than one plot and elevaged in 1-2 year-old barrels. The nose is pure and focused. More forward acidity than

the bourgogne, with good fruit in the mix. Mouth-wateringly long.
