Size: 750 ml
Grape variety: Chardonnay
Producer: Samuel Billaud, who established his new winery facility in 2015, as well as purchasing four hectares, which had previously belonged to the esteemed Chablis family at Domaine Billaud-Simon.
Region: Chablis in Burgundy, France
In the cellar: This wine undergoes gentle pneumatic pressing followed by cold settling to preserve its fresh, vibrant character. Fermentation—both alcoholic and malolactic—takes place in small, temperature-controlled steel tanks, ensuring a perfect balance of flavors. It is then aged on fine lees, adding a smooth texture and depth to the wine.
Farming method: Organic; vines planted between 1952 and 1987 upon clay-limestone Kimmeridgian marls
Tasting notes: Crafted from vines up to 90 years old across three premier sites—Les Pargues, Bas de Chapelot, and Les Quarts—this Chablis delivers remarkable freshness and minerality. You’ll find bright citrus notes, layered with a touch of ripeness, leading to a crisp, saline finish that lingers. If you're looking for a Chablis that embodies tradition and precision, as well as excellent tension and complexity, this is it—an impeccable expression of the region's best.
