Les Séchets is a sub-climat of Vaillons on the left bank of the Serein, positioned where the valley becomes cooler than the warmer Les Minots sector. Patrick Piuze’s fruit comes from vines more than 60 years old growing in very shallow soils with limestone bedrock close to the surface. This naturally austere site gives the wine pronounced mineral definition while retaining impressive concentration. The 2023 vintage combines ripe orchard and citrus fruit with the saline, chalky character that strongly identifies it as Chablis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1653\" data-end=\"2277\"\u003eThe wine opens with green apple, lemon zest and pear alongside oyster shell, beeswax, iodine and delicate floral notes. The palate is bright and precise, with mouthwatering acidity cutting through a concentrated core of fruit. Chalky extract and pronounced limestone minerality provide grip and structure through the mid-palate. Saline character becomes increasingly prominent toward the finish, balancing the fruit with freshness and tension. The finish is long, incisive and distinctly mineral, giving the wine both immediate clarity and substantial potential for further development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2279\" data-end=\"2296\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2279\" data-end=\"2296\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2298\" data-end=\"2306\"\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2306\" data-end=\"2309\"\u003e – Mineral, citrus-driven and precise\u003cbr data-start=\"2345\" data-end=\"2348\"\u003e Green apple, pear and lemon zest with oyster shell, beeswax, iodine, white flowers and chalk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2443\" data-end=\"2626\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2443\" data-end=\"2453\"\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2453\" data-end=\"2456\"\u003e – Bright, concentrated and finely structured\u003cbr data-start=\"2500\" data-end=\"2503\"\u003e Fresh citrus and orchard fruit are supported by mouthwatering acidity, chalky mineral extract and a distinctly saline core.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2628\" data-end=\"2788\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2628\" data-end=\"2638\"\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2638\" data-end=\"2641\"\u003e – Long, incisive and chalky\u003cbr data-start=\"2668\" data-end=\"2671\"\u003e Persistent lemon, green apple, oyster shell and limestone minerality conclude with freshness, grip and saline length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2790\" data-end=\"2813\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2790\" data-end=\"2813\"\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"2815\" data-end=\"2937\"\u003e“Derived from over 60-year-old vines growing in very shallow soil, with limestone bedrock close to the surface, Patrick Piuze's 2023 Chablis 1er Cru Séchet is one of the highlights of the broad 28-bottle tasting across many different climats and appellations. Opening in the glass to reveal a bouquet of oyster shell, green apple and lemon zest mingling with beeswax and iodine, it’s medium-bodied, bright and precise, with mouthwatering acidity and ample structuring extract, concluding with a searingly chalky finish. If one wants to pick a bottle that’s unmistakably (even when tasted blind) Chablisien, look no further than this beautifully defined and incisive interpretation of Séchet.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Kristaps Karklins, The Wine Advocate, 94+ Points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"3234\" data-end=\"3461\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3234\" data-end=\"3252\"\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"3252\" data-end=\"3255\"\u003e Brand - Patrick Piuze\u003cbr data-start=\"3276\" data-end=\"3279\"\u003e Style - White Wine\u003cbr data-start=\"3297\" data-end=\"3300\"\u003e Varietal - Chardonnay\u003cbr data-start=\"3321\" data-end=\"3324\"\u003e Country - France\u003cbr data-start=\"3340\" data-end=\"3343\"\u003e Region - Burgundy\u003cbr data-start=\"3360\" data-end=\"3363\"\u003e Appellation - Chablis\u003cbr data-start=\"3384\" data-end=\"3387\"\u003e Vintage - 2023\u003cbr data-start=\"3401\" data-end=\"3404\"\u003e ABV - 12.5%\u003cbr data-start=\"3415\" data-end=\"3418\"\u003e Size - 750ml\u003cbr data-start=\"3430\" data-end=\"3433\"\u003e Classification - Premier Cru\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Patrick Piuze","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44338595463255,"sku":"PAT-PIUZ-SECHET-23","price":174.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/8a665a11-5b84-440c-9112-b7dc6f8d286e.webp?v=1790314446","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/patrick-piuze-chablis-1er-cru-les-sechets-2023","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
