2021 Domaine Louis Michel et Fils 'Sechets' Premier Cru Chablis

Winemaker Notes:  This year the Séchets has been bottled separately from the Vaillons, although many years ago it was bottled on its own – at the Restaurant Hostelerie les Clos there was a magnum bottle of the 1937 on display. A very refined, classy nose which is very floral, almost like rose water. It has lemon candied fruit and a good balance of power and acidity. Refined, super angular, pure and refreshing with a powdered, sugar cane finish.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Burghound - "Firm reduction presently renders the nose impossible to assess. Otherwise, the palate impression of the middleweight flavors is one of concentration and refinement with a borderline creamy texture that contrasts with the clean, dry and lingering finale where hints of quinine and bitter lemon eventually emerge. Solid quality here."


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "The 2021 Chablis 1er Cru Séchets is lovely, mingling aromas of citrus oil, white flowers, iodine and oyster shell in an incipiently complex bouquet, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive palate that's racy, saline and penetrating. Bottled under Diam, it will age with grace."
