Domaine Seguinot Bordet Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons 2023

Domaine Séguinot-Bordet is led by Jean-François Bordet, a winemaker deeply rooted in Chablis traditions and proud steward of a domaine whose origins date back to 1590. As the latest generation in a historic family of vignerons, Bordet brings a thoughtful blend of heritage and modernity to his winemaking philosophy. He took full control of the estate in 1998 and has since expanded its reputation internationally, earning praise for crafting Chablis that captures purity, finesse, and precision. Bordet is known for his meticulous work in the vineyards, emphasizing sustainable practices, careful canopy management, and harvesting at optimal ripeness to preserve Chablis’ hallmark minerality. In the cellar, he balances traditional techniques—such as long fermentation and aging on fine lees—with selective use of stainless steel to maintain freshness and transparency. Under his leadership, the domaine focuses on expressing the unique terroirs of Chablis, particularly the celebrated Premier Cru sites, through wines that are both expressive and elegantly restrained. Jean-François’ commitment to detail, respect for the land, and passion for Chablis’ distinctive style make him one of the standout modern voices in the region, carrying forward over four centuries of Séguinot-Bordet family winemaking.
