Séchet is a lieu-dit within the Vaillons premier cru, which is prized for its floral, mineral, and delicate power. These old vines belonged to Samuel’s grandmother, and many are approaching 100 years old. He never wants to put this in oak, he likes to keep the transparency of the fruit at the fore. It is tightly coiled on the nose, a little shy at first, but slowly unfurling into one of the most complex and complete wines in Samuel’s cellar.

10 hl/ha translates into three wine-globes and one barrel. A light lemon tint to the colour. The bouquet is very classy, all on those dry stones, with a fantastic precision. Very direct, very linear, almost a tannic touch since the fruit is always so dry here. Good persistence. Makes one salivate! Drink from 2029-2035. Tasted Jun 2025.
From the oldest vines in the domaine that suffered hail damage, the 2024 Chablis Les Séchets 1er Cru was made in a WineGlobe as yield was just 15 hl/ha. No sulfur dioxide was used and there will be around 20% barrel aging in the final blend. It does possess a "natty" edge on the nose, with notes of yellow fruit, melted wax and just a touch of honeysuckle. The palate is fresh, taut, quite linear and correct. This is slightly tapered toward the pointed finish, possibly due to the more sterile glass container. Let's see how this will show in bottle.
