Séchet is a lieu dit within the Vaillons premier cru, which is prized for its floral, mineral, and delicate power. These old vines, aged between 60 and 80 years, produce one of Samuel’s most complete wines. It is freshly tight on the nose, all lemon and seaspray. This, combined with the palate’s depth, perfectly demonstrates this winemaker’s pursuit of tension and energy in his wines.
The expressive nose makes this wine's origins crystal clear with its very fresh aromas of oyster shell, iodine and mineral reduction-scented aromas. There is an appealing sense of vibrancy to the delicious, racy and super-saline-inflected flavors that culminate in an almost painfully intense finale. This isn't quite as complex as the Montée de Tonnerre but it's quite lovely just the same. Worth checking out.
