Presentation
Domaine Rémi Seguin is located in Gilly-lès-Cîteaux, Burgundy, France. Founded by Rémi Seguin, who grew up at Clos de Tart where his parents and grandparents were stewards, the domaine benefits from a rich winemaking tradition. Rémi Seguin has run the 6.31-hectare estate since 1989, specializing in the production of high-quality red wines. The domaine produces wines under several prestigious appellations, including Morey-Saint-Denis, Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, and Vosne-Romanée. Domaine Rémi Seguin wines are renowned for their finesse, elegance and complexity, with aromas of red and black fruits, spices and hints of wood. Rémi Seguin retired in 2009, and his vines are now run by Frédéric Magnien. The wines continue to be appreciated for their excellent value for money and their ability to age well.
