Jean-Francois Bordet is responsible for the domain Seguinot-Bordet since 1998. The Seguinot family lives in Maligny in the Chablis region since the late 16th century. Their vineyards lie in a perfect position on the right bank of the Serein river facing in south east direction.
In 2002 Jean-Francois Bordet starts to buy grapes from vintners in the Chablis region to enlarge the portfolio of the domain Seguinot-Bordet. The Vaillon 1er cru and the Vaudesir Grand Cru are famous products out of this activity. The vines on their domain age 15 to 100 years. A very particular limestone (Kimmerridgian) on which they grow gives their wine a specific iodine character and typicity. Terroir and selection of the grapes are therefore responsible for the character of the wines. The vines are elevated in the rhythm of nature. Therefore the domain is certified HVE (Haute Valeur Environmental/High Environmental Value)
Creation of wines at the domain Seguinot-Bordet
The Bordet family produces their wine in a state-of-the-art cellar with horizontal temperature controlled stainless steel tanks with ageing sur lie. During this period the lies are stirred up to prevent their decomposition and to give the wine a fruity aroma (Batonnage). The grand Crus at the domain Seguinot-Bordet are elevated in small oak foudres to underline the tannic notes. The wines are classic Chablis. The terroirs and the elevation method give them a clear minerality and clean fruit with a bright acidity.
Characteristics of the Seguinot-Bordet wines
The wines show a pretty pale golden yellow color with light greenish glints. The nose reminds the scented freshness of a lovely summer’s morning. The taste is perfect harmony of maturity, mellowness and vivacity. The flowers and fruit reappear, enhanced by charming biscuity notes. The mineral touch, fine and airy, shows through well on the finish to accompany our thirst and pleasure right to the end.
We hope that you can find the Seguinot-Bordet wines at your favorite wine store. If not they`re available here for Europe and North America.
