Seguin-Manuel, Pouilly-Vinzelles Vieilles Vignes, 2022

Seguin-Manuel’s Pouilly-Vinzelles Vieilles Vignes 2022 is a fine example of white Burgundy from the Mâconnais, drawn from old Chardonnay vines and crafted with the same care usually reserved for more famous Côte de Beaune wines. It offers impressive quality, depth, and terroir expression at a more approachable price point, making it a compelling discovery for lovers of classic Burgundy.

Tasting Notes
Pale gold in the glass, this wine opens with a refined mix of white peach, fresh apricot, ripe pear, and hazelnut, lifted by brioche, lemon zest, white flint, and a subtle touch of salted butter. The aromatics are layered and precise, showing both freshness and warmth. On the palate, it is intense, juicy, and gently creamy, with a rounded texture balanced by a lively line of acidity that keeps everything fresh and focused. The oak is well integrated, adding a soft spicy nuance rather than overt richness. It should drink beautifully now and continue to develop complexity over the next few years.

Production
The fruit comes from an old parcel on the mid-slope in Pouilly-Vinzelles, an eastern-facing site in the Mâconnais with marl and limestone soils dating back to the Jurassic period. These conditions are well suited to Chardonnay, lending the wine its mineral edge and elegant structure. The wine is made with spontaneous fermentation and then aged for 12 months in oak barrels, with partial new oak and lees contact to build texture and complexity.

Food & Serving
Serve in generous Burgundy glasses at around 10–12°C to allow the aromatics and texture to fully unfold. It pairs especially well with butter-basted shellfish, roast chicken with cream sauces, lobster, or rich cow’s milk cheeses such as Comté, aged Saint-Nectaire, or a creamy Bourgogne cheese. Decanting is optional, but a short aeration can help open the wine if enjoyed young.

Producer
Seguin-Manuel is a respected Burgundian producer known for crafting wines that reflect site and vintage with precision and understated elegance. While the house is particularly associated with the Côte de Beaune, its work in the Mâconnais shows the same dedication to traditional methods and careful élevage. The winery has built a strong reputation for producing wines that balance authenticity, finesse, and excellent value across Burgundy.
