The 2024 Séguinot-Bordet Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume is a beautifully refined Chardonnay from one of Chablis’ most prestigious Premier Cru vineyards. Family-owned for generations, Séguinot-Bordet is renowned for producing wines that express the purity and minerality of Chablis, and Fourchaume is widely regarded as one of the appellation’s finest sites. The combination of cool-climate fruit and Kimmeridgian limestone soils delivers a wine of remarkable freshness, precision and elegance.
The nose reveals aromas of lemon zest, green apple and white peach alongside delicate floral notes and hints of oyster shell and wet stone. The palate is vibrant and finely structured, with crisp citrus and orchard fruit flavours supported by bright acidity and a pronounced mineral backbone. Focused and beautifully balanced, it finishes long, saline and refreshingly pure.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A classic Premier Cru Chablis that combines finesse, freshness and outstanding terroir expression. Its mineral precision makes it a perfect match for oysters, scallops, lobster, grilled fish and creamy seafood dishes. Enjoy now for its youthful energy or cellar through 2034 as it develops greater complexity and texture.
