The 2011 Pommard 1er Cru Clos Blanc has a crisp nose of red currant and cranberry with fine underlying mineralite. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins – still quite compact with a rather brusque finish, although the acidity keeps it fresh and racy. This is promising, but deserves a year in bottle. Drink 2014-2018.
I have written about Seguin-Manuel on many occasions, ever since a memorable tasting of ancient negociant vintages back in 2005 that elicited more perfect scores than any other (three to be exact.) Winemaker and proprietor Thibault Marion’s wines have little in common with those historical bottles, but he is carving a name for himself as one of Burgundy’s most thoughtful winemakers. Since 2009, he has been cultivating his own vines organic and they were certified last year.
