2023 Patrick Piuze Chablis 1er Cru Les Sechets

Sechets is a sub-climat of 1er Cru Vaillons. Minots is the warmest part of the valley; as the valley opens up, the sites are cooler. This wine has nice concentration with passion fruit and a salty minerality.

"The 2023 Chablis "les Séchets" from Domaine Piuze is also a fine example of the vintage. The wine's aromatic constellation delivers scents of apple, pear, lemon blossoms, a lovely base of limestone soils, beeswax and a nice touch of Chablisienne straw in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and nicely structured out of the blocks this year, with a fine core of fruit, excellent mineral undertow and grip, bright acids and a long, complex and very well balanced finish. This will want a few years in the cellar before drinking with abandon."
