June 25, 2023 - From a rich year, citrus (more on the orange side), stony with a high salinity. Drinking well, but will become more compact and shred its baby fat with some years of additional cellaring, reminds me on 2009, which are excellent now 91+
February 18, 2023 - Really interesting. Not typical but, with time, not atypical either. Medium gold. A bit fat at first, but with air the chablis structure reasserted itself. Some tropical notes but with linearity. Evolving in the glass throughout. Interesting to see where this goes.
July 9, 2022 - This wasn't like I would have expected a Chablis. A lot less steely minerality and acidity but more warm and creamy.
The note was rather tropical with a bit of ripe peach, citrus, yellow pear, white flowers, some wet stone and a bit of sea breeze.
Palate was slightly warm and rounded and less acidity than I was expecting - and love. Yellow apple, yellow pear, ripe peach, caramelized pineapple, some citrus fruit peels (from some sweeter citrus fruits), the white flowers again and a beautiful saline minerality. Slight creamy butter feel as well.
I don't know if it's the vintage or the style but I was just looking for more acidity to kick me in the face with a bit more freshness and lively playful unripe notes.
December 10, 2021 - Lots of pineapple called out by Nick.
Not as stoney mineral, as it is seashells on the palate. Rounder than angular. And a generously styled wine with initial maturity showing, makes you wonder how long it’s got, but it’s also got something to the palate that could into something or another down the road. definitely one for more investigation.
July 9, 2021 - Crisp and mineral nose with a hint of tropical fruit. Sharp and crisp on the palate, definitely with a bit more opulence than the 2014, probably due to the vintage. Long finish. Delicious.
May 14, 2021 - Online Blind Tasting: Limestone soil - Riesling and Chardonnay: Wine was filled into 0,1l bottle three days before. Tasting note is based on ~ 5cl tasted blind and ~ 5cl the day after.
Glass: Zalto Universal
Clear, medium golden color. Clean, rather muted and closed notes. Some pear, fine oak, delicate sea shells.
Dry, medium+ acidity. 13% abv. Medium body. Dominated by limestone, delicate fruit (yellow fruit, lime, pear) in the background. This wine requires focus and attention. Very fine and elegant, lean, develops tension over time. Long, salty finish. Still painfully young, needs 3-5+ years. 92++
July 19, 2020 - Full flavored. Slightly less acidic than expected. Still all the classic characteristics of Chablis. Excellent.
July 3, 2020 - Fatter with less cut than most vintages but still quite nice. More Apple than citrus but it worked well with our fried Ipswich clams.
April 5, 2020 - I disagree with some notes here in that this was quite typical of Chablis and my prior experiences with Sechet. The nose is subtle initially and then shows lovely mineral, saline drenched orchard fruit, high toned floral notes, and oyster shells. The palate is fresher than anticipated for the vintage with lovely lift and no hint of heaviness at all. Delicious with crab risotto.
February 28, 2020 - Wines Tasted at HDH Auction; 2/28/2020-2/29/2020 (Spiaggia - Chicago IL): Ripe apple with a richness I would never associate with Chablis. For me this is a better glass of Chardonnay than it is a good Chablis, given barely/ faint signs of mineral/ oystershell/ saline character. Much more 2015 than anything else.
