Seguinot-Bordet Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume 2023
The Wine
100% chardonnay from 40 to 60 year old vines predominantly from the prized L’homme Mort section of Fourchaume, grown in ancient Kimmeridgian limestone soil and aged in temperature-controlled tanks.
A lovely pale golden yellow with delicate greenish hues, bright, luminous, and crystal clear. The nose bursts with fresh, refined aromas of elegant white flowers, freshly baked brioche, and a hint of leafy freshness. The taste instantly unveils its power, richness, and elegance—a perfect harmony of finesse, minerality, smoothness, and liveliness. It offers a generous array of aromas, with a finish that lingers endlessly, unforgettable.
91-93 Pts Allen Meadows, Burghound 'An attractively layered nose features airy and cool notes of mint, quinine, lemon rind and brine flirts with a background application of oak. The more elegant middle weight flavors are akin to rolling a tiny pebble around the mouth while the balanced, clean and dry finale already possesses fine complexity and length. This is also very good and equally warmly recommended.'
Brooding, textural and seductive! TC
