Seguin-Manuel (Domaine)

I met winemaker Thibaut Marion at his winery in Beaune on a Saturday, allowing me to taste through his entire range in the morning before popping down to the market. Marion is the antithesis of rock star winemakers, just going about producing well-priced, well-made whites and reds both from his own vines and purchased fruit, self-effacing in personality but respected amongst his fellow vignerons.

“We needed to do a lot of work in the vineyard to prevent over-production. It is the first time in 20 years we had to do a green harvest, even though we have many 50-year-old vines. In 2023, we moved to biodynamic viticulture [they are already organically certified]. The fruit was healthy, though some purchased fruit needed sorting as some bunches were not ripe enough. We had to be careful with the volatile acidity and occasionally had ‘lazy’ yeasts, so we had one or two cuvées that stopped fermenting and had to be inoculated. Malo was a little earlier than in other vintages. We decided to do a short maturation, so some of the 2023s have been bottled.”
