- Pinot Noir / Spätburgunder
Region
Burgundy
The world-famous wines of Gevrey-Chambertin are characterized by deep berry fruit and the typical spicy licorice and undergrowth notes, as well as a masculine yet highly balanced body.
La Justice is located just below the village on the Route National. The site is considered especially favorable because it has good calcareous clay soil in the area of the alluvial fan of the Combe de Lavaux.
Seguins Parzelle has vines here that are around 40 years old.

Gérard Seguin
Gérard Seguin looks back on a winemaking family tradition dating back to 1850. Today, his estate covers a vineyard area of 6 hectares, planted exclusively with Pinot Noir. 3.3 ha of this are Gevrey-Chambertin sites, the best of which form the basis of the Vieilles Vignes, whose vines are well over 60 years old. One hectare is divided between Craipillot and Lavaux St. Jacques, the latter being probably the best Premier Cru site in Gevrey-Chambertin.
The winemaking is largely traditional. After a cold maceration of four to five days, the fermentation process begins with natural yeasts. Pure cultured yeasts are generally not used, as Seguin believes they produce standardized wines and eliminate any site-specific character. The aging takes place in oak barrels, of which 20 - 40 percent are new depending on the site and vintage. The aging lasts about 15 months until racking. Then three months are needed before bottling to blend the respective cuvées.
Seguin’s red wines are classics in the best sense. They always show the typical Gevrey-Chambertin balance of masculine berry fruit and spicy underbrush notes, as well as a remarkable mineral depth.
