Dauvissat/Vincent Chablis 1er cru Séchet 2019

95 points La Revue du Vin de France: "Open and tensile, with restrained maturity, Séchet works superbly in a sunny vintage, with flavors of toasted almond, praline and dried apricot. (2022)"

94 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2019 Chablis 1er Cru Séchet 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, Séchet—where Dauvissat owns a 0.8-hectare parcel—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. Drink: 2029-2055. (8/5/21)"

91-93 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2019 Chablis Séchets 1er Cru has an elegant and more floral bouquet compared to Vincent Dauvissat’s other 2019s, beautifully defined and offering baked apple, pear and white flower scents. The palate is well balanced with a spicy opening, plus hints of stem ginger and walnut. Quite tensile and full on the finish. Good potential here. Drink: 2023-2036. (Sep 2020)"

92 points/'Sweet spot/Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "A markedly citrusy and noticeably cooler nose combines notes of mineral reduction with those of pear and apple confit. There is again very good volume and mid-palate density on the seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that are also quite dry on the balanced finale. This is a powerful Séchet that is even more robust and one that will need to add depth with age, but it should do just that if given a chance. Drink: 2026+. (Oct 2021)"
