Domaine Séguinot‑Bordet Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir 2023 is a proper show‑stopper, a shimmering Chardonnay from one of Chablis’ finest grand cru slopes, mixing power, finesse and that salty, sea‑spray edge that Chablis nuts absolutely live for. This Vaudésir 2023 is the bottle you bring to impress.

In the glass you are looking at ripe lemon and grapefruit, white peach and a touch of nectarine, layered with white flowers, oyster shell, wet stone and a hint of flint and fine oak spice. The palate is concentrated yet super precise, with a gently creamy mid‑palate, chalky grip and long, saline, mouth‑watering finish that keeps building with each sip.

This Domaine Séguinot‑Bordet Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir 2023 is magic with lobster, scallops, richer white‑fish dishes, oysters Rockefeller, roast chicken with morels or truffled pasta, and it absolutely sings alongside aged Comté at a long Adelaide dinner. It is built to cellar but already stunning with a good decant.
