2025 Domaine Seguinot Bordet Chablis Vieilles Vignes

Domaine Séguinot-Bordet ranks among the oldest family estates in Chablis, with documented roots in Maligny dating to 1590. Today, Jean-François Bordet oversees a 16-hectare domaine on the right bank of the Serein, where many vineyard parcels enjoy prime south and southeast exposures on classic Kimmeridgian soils. The estate remains firmly focused on Chardonnay, producing a range from Petit Chablis through Premier Cru and Grand Cru bottlings. Vineyard work emphasizes careful stewardship of the land, including massal selections and environmentally conscious farming. In the cellar, Bordet favors stainless steel, employing distinctive horizontal tanks that increase lees contact while preserving the purity, energy, and mineral precision that define traditional Chablis. The resulting wines have earned a reputation for clarity, balance, and a transparent expression of site, making Séguinot-Bordet one of the region’s enduring benchmarks.
