Domaine Séguinot et Filles Chablis Premier Cru “L’Homme Mort” 2023.
Varieties: 100% Chardonnay
Alcohol: 13.3% ABV
The 2023 “L’Homme Mort” Premier Cru is a strikingly expressive Chablis, marrying exotic fruit intensity with unmistakable mineral drive. The nose bursts with vibrant Chardonnay character — ripe peach, lemon tart, and citrus blossom layered over classic notes of crushed oyster shell and wet stone. There is an alluring generosity to the aromatics that sets this wine apart, offering both immediacy and depth.
On the palate, the fruit profile is vivid and concentrated, yet beautifully controlled. Silky in texture, the wine glides across the tongue with a supple, almost creamy mid-palate, derived from careful lees ageing. Beneath this polished surface lies a firm mineral spine — the hallmark of Premier Cru Chablis — providing structure, precision and length. The interplay between lush fruit and chalky tension creates a dynamic, mouth-watering finish that lingers with citrus zest and saline nuance.
Enjoy now for its vibrant fruit and textural charm, or cellar for 6–10 years as further complexity unfolds. A superb partner for seafood or creamy-tarragon poultry dishes.
