The 2018 Chablis Les Sechets 1er Cru is a stand out in this flight of 1er Crus from Patrick Piuze. Beautifully layered and expansive, with striking depth, the 2018 has so much to recommend it. Readers can expect a Chablis built on resonant and textural richness more than anything else. In a word: terrific.

The 2018 Chablis 1er Cru Séchet is one of the high points of the range once again, unwinding in the glass with a classic bouquet of lemon oil, lime, rock salt, crushed shells, mint and iodine. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny but incisive, with a deep and tight-knit core, tangy acids and a mineral finish.
True limestone with a really flinty, stony nose, this has a terrific sense of chalky, terroir-driven style. The depth on the palate has a very effortless feel, really gliding long and supple. Super wine. Drink or hold.
