SEGUINOT-BORDET, Chablis

Domaine Séguinot-Bordet’s 2024 Chablis comes from the family’s classic right-bank vineyards around Maligny and is made by Jean-François Bordet in cool-fermented stainless steel, then matured on lees to build texture without oak. Yellow-green in the glass, it shows lemon, pear and white blossom with flinty minerality and a touch of seaspray, leading to a fresh, lively palate where citrus-driven energy, ripe white-fruit flavours and subtle salinity are carried by keen acidity into a clean, long finish that works beautifully with oysters, sashimi or simple roast chicken. With strong notices from UK and European merchants highlighting its purity, balance and length, this is stylish, benchmark village Chablis and a smart buy for Australian drinkers wanting a step up in depth and refinement from Petit Chablis while staying well short of premier cru pricing.
