DOMAINE DANIEL SÉGUINOT PETIT CHABLIS 2023

The Seguinot family’s roots in Maligny, the front door to Chablis, can be traced as far back as 1590 when they began to write their history. Now, managed by Daniel and his daughters, Emilie and Laurence, the domain has been constantly evolving since the last 40 years and now covers 20 ha which lie a privileged South-West sun exposure.

This is Petit Chablis that teaches you a life lesson; it is altogether more serious than its appellation would lead you to believe. Unlike the rest of Burgundy, of which Chablis is the most northerly part, Chablis has four appellations and not three. There used to be three until 1944, when Petit Chablis was created to account for the newer vines being planted on top of the hills with Portlandian limestone soils.

Very pretty pale golden yellow in colour with light greenish glints. Bright, luminous and limpid. The nose is young, fresh and vivacious in a whirlwind of floral, fruity scents. The taste is lively, pleasant and perfumed, revealing lemon and verbena on a fine mineral background. We discover the pleasure of drinking for sheer enjoyment. The finish is pleasant leaving the mouth tingling with an airy freshness.
