When you tackle the Premier Cru speech in Chablis, it rises dizzily. For the quality of the wines, which far from the Petit Chablis and Chablis villages thanks to the Kimmerriggiano soil (150 million years ago) on which they rest, but also for the complexity of the classification. In addition to a clear division between the right bank and the left bank of the Serein (the tributary of the Yonne river that cuts the village of Chablis in two), climat and lieu-dit intersect within the individual Premier Cru. Vincent Dauvissat's Sechet is part of the Vaillons premier cru, the largest of the denomination, which covers 128 hectares, bringing with it enormous differences. Sechet in particular is located on the top. South / East exposure with a soil of slabs of Kimmeriggian origin.

The Domaine Dauvissat has sold wine under its own label and remains one of the great traditionalists of Chablis. Since the torch was transmitted from generation to generation, here little has changed: the techniques are still classic and remarkably similar to those used by Raveneau.
The wines have become increasingly profound since Vincent Dauvissat joined his father, René, in the '70s. Vincent prefers natural farming, using sparingly the treatments for the vine, if at all. The fruit is harvested by hand and not de-stemmed; the fermentation takes place partly in steel tanks and partly in wood, and aging takes place in barrels for six to eight years. Dauvissat has always aged its wines in cask, believing that this allowed the wine to breathe during the élévage. As René Dauvissat said in 2002, "The oak is very important for Chablis. The synergy between air and wood adds character and also helps to soften the wine.Without the oak, Chablis would be too hard."

Three Senses
Sechet as indeed all of Vaillons stands on shallow soil, where grapes tend to ripen quickly. Despite this Vincent Dauvissat's Premier Cru Sechet always has a more nervous character than others, indulging calmly after a few years in the bottle to become an unforgettable pleasure of the palate.

Vincent Dauvissat

Vincent Dauvissat

The Domaine Dauvissat has its roots around the 1920s in Chablis, although its reputation arrives thanks to Renè. In 1976, his son Vincent joined the company and leads him connected today. In addition to an organic approach of the vineyard and very low yields, the cellar techniques have remained intact: pressing and settling of the must, slow fermentation at low temperature in cement tanks, where the wine remains until after the malolactic fermentation (about a year), to then be transferred to oak barrels. Vincent today manages an almost unique heritage of vineyards, with the unreachable climates that give the wines a tense texture and acidity that has made the stamp of the Dauvissat famous all over the world.
