2021 Domaine Seguinot Bordet Chablis 1er Cru "Fourchaume"

A slightly cooler, airier and more citrus-suffused nose features notes of mineral reduction, iodine, seaweed and green apple. The middleweight flavors don’t possess the same amplitude but are both finer and more chiseled, particularly on the linear, stony and bitter lemon-inflected finish. While qualitatively similar, these two examples of Fourchaume are in fact quite different. *Burghound Sweet Spot Outstanding!*

Since visiting this property in March, we have drunk his incredible 2021 Domaine Seguinot Bordet Chablis 1er Cru "Fourchaume"twice. This wine comes entirely from the much more limestone rich northern plot of L’Homme Mort within Fourchaume, just south of Maligny. This wine is loaded with oyster shell savor and incredibly zippy lime fruit, along with body that reminds me of the best of the Côte d’Or. The finish is super long and brings back the clean oyster shell minerality of the nose, carried by a wave of refreshing acidity. It went great by itself as the aperitif in our airport hotel before leaving France, and even better with Dungeness Crab two ways at home a week after returning!
