2017 Samuel Billaud Chablis 1er Sechet

This too offers good Chablis character to the aromas of sea shore, algae, lemon rind and a whiff of iodine that is picked up by the intense and beautifully delineated middle weight flavors that flash equally good minerality on the bone dry finish. This won't wow you with its finesse but it is very good and clearly built to reward mid-term keeping.   Burghound 90-93 Sweet Spot Outstanding!

The 2017 Chablis Séchet 1er Cru comes from 70-year old vines that sees no wood contact. It has a classic Chablis nose of flint and smoke though, it takes a little coaxing from the glass. The palate is very well balanced with a twist of bitter lemon on the entry, focused and full of tension with a brisk, quite intense citrus finish that feels very persistent. This has great potential.
