Domaine Seguinot Chablis

Chablis is the northernmost appellation in Burgundy, and the only grape allowed is Chardonnay. The vines here grow on Kimmeridgian clay and limestone, a soil rich in fossilised oyster shells. The domaine ferments and ages its wines mainly in stainless steel, using horizontal tanks that give more contact with the lees, and oak is kept to a minimum. The aim is freshness and a clear sense of place rather than richness.

That shows in the glass. It is pale and dry, with lemon and green apple, a stony, mineral edge and a clean finish.

Serve it cold with oysters, scallops or pan fried fish. It also does well with soft goat's cheese and with a simple roast chicken.
