Description

"In the past, Séchets Premier Cru used to be blended with Vaillons, but has been vinified separately since 2010. Séchets is different from the other climates in the Vaillons valley, especially as it has more marl-like characteristics. Its aromatic richness, complexity and chiseled minerality make it a Premier Cru for cellaring, with typically Chablis features.

Scents of grapefruit, stones and flowers. A tight, dense and wonderfully pure wine, with pronounced minerality and enveloped with white fruit notes. Aged in stainless steel tanks to preserve minerality."

 

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Louis Michel

Jean-Loup Michel and his nephew Guillaume Gicqueau-Michel are passionate supporters of stainless steel for production of pure, clean and precise Chablis. Situated right in the heart of the village of Chablis, the family has been making wine since 1850.

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Chardonnay

Chardonnay is without a doubt the most known and most widely planted white grape variety around the world. It is historically home in Burgundy where it produces a more refined, mineral and poised wines all up and down the Cote de Beaune and in Chablis. Throughout the new world it gained fame in both California and Australia where it is known to produce big, rich, buttery and tropical fruit-laden white wines.

 

--------THE REGION--------

Burgundy

Burgundy is one of the most important wine regions in the world. It is often the one region that winemakers not lucky enough to be based there strive to make wine in. Run over to your local winery and I am sure that you'll find at least one Burgundy-phile. It is the historical home of the two major grapes: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
