Domaine Seguin Manuel Vosne Romanee Aux Communes 2022 (750ml)

Lustrous ruby in the glass, the 2022 Vosne-Romanée Aux Communes from Domaine Seguin-Manuel reveals a fragrant, layered nose of ripe wild strawberry, black cherry, rose petal, and exotic spice, with hints of sandalwood and fine earth. The fruit is sourced from the lieu-dit Aux Communes, nestled near the heart of the appellation on clay-limestone soils, and is organically farmed with a focus on vineyard expression. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts in open wooden vats precedes élevage in French oak barrels—30% new—over 14 months, lending subtle structure and depth. The palate is supple yet precise, with vivid red and black fruit gliding over a satin texture, interwoven with notes of cinnamon, violet, and crushed stone. Tannins are fine-grained and polished, acidity lively, and the finish persistent, echoing with spice and mineral nuance.
