  Extremely saline, dense character from the start. Long and almost thick. Faded in the glass after 30 minutes and ultimately disappointing.

  Great bottle. Classic Dauvissat on first pour--iodine, shells, a bit of a brothy quality on finish. Gained energy and depth as it opened in the glass. Top notch showing. Should cruise here for another 5+ at least.

  Decanted 2 hours in advance. Medium dull yellow-fine color for its age. All algal, brothy elements aromatically. Medium body, some glycerine, but mostly earth and limestone foundation. Here, the mineral and saline flavors form the classic flavor core with grapefruit at the margins providing support. Wonderful acidity too. A real Chablis purist's Chablis-unlikely to find wines like this in more recent "solar" global warming vintages.

  Served in a JRxRB Universal. Leaf / 1012 hPa
  
  Color is a light goldenrod. The nose is incredible - umami rich kombu and seaweed, white truffles, crimini mushrooms, and some pear. Palate follow suit as incredibly brothy and umami driven. The salinity and savory aspects of this wine are off the charts, while still be lifted and refreshing. Acidity isnt especially high, but enough to provide the energy this wine needs. Intense minerality with chalk and oyster shell on the finish. In my opinion, this wine is at its peak... Outside of a hair more acidity, I can't think I anything I'd ask more from this wine. Amazing.

  There's a killer balance to the rich honey and cutting iodine of this perfectly aged Séchet, a cool subparcel of Vaillons, that come together on the palate with a surprising amount of weight and intense, honeyed fruit given how austere this wine presented itself on release. Finishes with the juxtaposition of salty minerality and more honey. Very good!
