Domaine Daniel Seguinot et Filles Chablis 2020 Chablis, Burgundy, France

In Maligny - as far north in Chablis as you can get - on the right bank of the river Serein, Domaine Daniel Séguinot is a small, 27 hectare estate founded in 1971. It is now run by Daniel's charming and very switched-on daughters, Emilie and Laurence. Since they took over the running of the business from their father they have been instrumental in the move to domaine-bottled wines, produced without oak in a very pure, linear style.

The vineyards of Maligny benefit from south-west exposure which brings considerable richness to the wines. The domaine has vineyards across all four appellations in the village; Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume and Chablis 1er Cru Homme Mort produce very different styles, from steely and racy to powerful and rich. Classic, cool fermentation in stainless steel at 15 - 18 degrees celsius.

Fresh, flinty nose then vibrant, fleshy fruit; very much the Séguinot style with a core of excellent quality Chardonnay and tight, mineral backbone. Serve chilled accompanying light meats, grilled fish and salads.
