CRITIC REVIEWS
William Kelley
The 2019 Chablis 1er Cru Sechet opens in the glass with scents of citrus oil, white flowers, beeswax, oyster shell, wet chalk and mandarin. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and strikingly intense, it's taut and chiseled, with tangy acids and huge reserves of concentration, concluding with a pungently chalky finish. As I've written before, Secheta where Dauvissat owns a 0.8-hectare parcela is located in the Vaillons Valley, but its windier situation and soils richer in active limestone mean it's typically more tensile and incisive than the other climats that make up Vaillons.
