DOMAINE SEGUINOT BORDET family’s roots in Maligny, can be traced as far back as 1590. Having been passed down through the generations Jean-Francois Bordet is now in control after an apprenticeship with his grandfather. The vines are on the right bank of the Serein river, 16 hectares lie on a perfect south, south-east exposition. He is also lucky enough to own a slice of Fourchaume, felt by many to be the finest of the premier cru vineyards. The wines are carefully made in a well equipped modern winery, with vinification in stainless steel vats to preserve freshness. Jean-François places particular emphasis on obtaining the best fruit possible, through careful pruning, debudding and harvesting. His approach is clearly contemporary, but it delivers very stylish wines which fully express both the fruit and terroir.Very precise, mineral driven wines with apple, lemon, flint, acacia - still young but has real focus on the palate.
