Samuel Billaud Séchet 1er Cru Chablis 2024
Coming from a large family of winemakers, Samuel Billaud is recognized as a leading winemaker. A great connoisseur of the terroirs that surround him, an experienced taster, he vinified for nearly 20 years for the family estate and in a few years made the Billaud-Simon estate a jewel of the Chablis region.
Samuel Billaud is committed to bringing these great terroirs to life by producing white wines recognized throughout the world for their precision, brilliance and intense minerality.
Samuel Billaud is considered to be one of the select few outstanding producers in Chablis. Testament to this is Samuel’s ability to bring out the unique characteristics of each of his fantastic terroirs. His wines have a distinctive elegance, balance and complexity that is seldom achieved with such precision. The Séchet is from an old vineyard that belonged to Samuel’s great grandmother. The vines are 70 years old on average and located on the left bank which is part of the 1er cru “Vaillons”.
Seafood, lobster, prawns or goats cheese.
The 1er Cru “Séchet” is matured entirely in stainless steel tanks adding to its strong acidity and tension. The green fruits and stone fruits are very fine and showing a great depth. In addition, the minerality, iodine and salivating mouth fill are delightful. It is an impressive Séchet indeed.
