Tasting notes
The 2022 Chablis Premier Cru Séchet from Domaine Samuel Billaud is a precise and mineral-driven expression of this renowned Left Bank climat. The nose opens with intense floral notes, followed by classic Chablisienne chalky minerality evocative of Kimmeridgian limestone and oyster shell. Bright citrus aromas of lemon and lime are layered with green apple, subtle flinty nuances, and delicate savoury undertones.
On the palate, the wine is taut and energetic, marked by outstanding tension and clarity. The vibrant acidity of the 2022 vintage provides drive and freshness, while old-vine concentration lends depth and persistence. The finish is long, saline, and incisive, showcasing purity and elegance rather than power.
This is a finely structured Premier Cru Chablis with excellent ageing potential, expected to evolve gracefully over time, developing more complex savoury and tertiary notes while retaining its hallmark minerality and precision.
