Chablis 2021: New Releases

A fresh, chiseled Chardonnay from the master of Chablis.

Séchet is a lieu-dit within the Vaillons premier cru, which is prized for its floral, mineral, and delicate power. These old vines had belonged to his grandmother, and are now aged between 60 and 80 years. Aged in tank, this sees no wood. It is complex on the nose with a vibrant energy and plenty of green orchard fruit. The palate is long, saline, mineral, iodine and packed full of concentrated, fresh fruit.

Vaulorent is technically part of Fourchaume, the largest premier cru in Chablis, and is the only premier cru to share the same slope as the grand cru. It has very chalky soil and produces a wine of power and silky tension. The 2021 is so velvety and enticing, you almost don’t feel the power of the wine underneath the texture. Concentrated peach, apricot and a wonderful fresh grapefruit pithiness transcends, with a finish that is complex, long, saline and very fine - super!
