A rich, black cherry- and smoke-tinged red, with a texture that starts out velvety, ending with dusty tannins. Fresh, lively and persistent on the finish. Drink now through 2019. 400 cases made, 28 cases imported.??–BS??Region: France / Burgundy / Pommard Select to Add

The 2011 Pommard Vieilles Vignes comes from Les Vigneaux, although beginning next year it will come from Thibault’s own two recently acquired parcels in Les Petit Noizons and Les Petit Epenots. It is rather reticent on the nose despite coaxing: earthy and rather brusque. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, slightly aggressive tannins, although there are plenty of tart red cherries to be enjoyed. It just seems a little attenuated toward the finish. Drink now-2016. 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. Importer: Winebow, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 835-3061
