Notes from Grand Cru Selections:

"Édouard and Eleni first met during the 2010 harvest in New Zealand. Not long after, they married and returned to Chablis to take over a small piece of Edouard's family domaine  and establish their own project in 2013. With just 3.3 hectares to start, their vision was clear: a more artisanal, sustainable approach, focused on farming. Making single-site wines that highlight the individuality of each plot through the same thoughtful, minimalist winemaking. Their small holdings allowed them to know every vine by heart...in 2023, Édouard inherited an additional 5 hectares of impressive real estate —including Butteaux and new 1er crus Forêts, Séchet, Châtaigne, and Montée de Tonnerre, along with the Grands Crus Blanchots, Valmur, and Les Clos—bringing the domaine to roughly 10 hectares. 

Planted in 1962 on warm yellow marl, Séchets covers just 70 ares split between two small plots. This historic site yields wines of supple fruit, lifted by a vibrant mineral line."

Jasper Morris:

" The inaugural release, Eleni & Edouard Vocoret’s 2023 Chablis 1er Cru Séchet has turned out beautifully. Derived from two plots amounting to 0.7 hectares and planted with massal selection Chardonnay in 1962, it’s southeast-facing and characterized by marl soils rich in fossils. It exhibits aromas of ripe citrus fruit, green apple, beeswax and oyster shell, followed by a medium to full-bodied palate that’s dry and satiny. While it bears some of the hallmarks of the vintage, the wine's mineral signature remains typical of Séchet, concluding with a pure, saline finish."
