This is classic, bone-dry Chablis from the family firm of Billaud-Simon, one of the region's outstanding producers. Despite the sunny vintage, the wine offers a very pleasant acidity on the palate. It is currently revealing aromas of pear, quince, apricot and peach combined with fresh citrus notes.

Domaine Billaud-Simon has been a part of the Chablis wine region since 1815 and covers almost 17 hectares of vineyards in which Chardonnay reigns supreme. All of the parcels at Domaine Billaud-Simon are planted within a two kilometre radius, on the left and right banks of the Serein, in the heart of this historical appellation.


Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"The Chablis wine region stretches along the Serein valley and across 20 communes. Chablis, known as the ‘Porte d’Or de la Bourgogne’ (‘Golden gate of Burgundy’), has succeeded in establishing a reputation for its dry white wines with a distinctive style: clear, aromatic and lively with a distinct minerality.

Beautiful white gold hue with delicate pale green glimmers. A seductive and very classic Chablis nose offering vine peach, banana, citrus fruits and brioche. The palate  is well-balanced, rich, fresh and elegant. The smooth, rich structure lingers on the end palate. Ripe fruits combine harmoniously with mineral notes to give a soft mouthfeel."


Neal Martin (2021 Vintage)
"The 2021 Chablis Village is a clear step up from the Petit Chablis this year with more presence and intensity on the nose. The palate is balanced with red apple and orange pith on the entry and fine acidity, but this has a slightly conservative finish that needs more terroir expression."

91/100 Allen Meadows, Burghound (2020 Vintage)
"A slightly cooler and quite pretty nose speaks mostly of citrus and quinine along with whiffs of iodine. The delicious and more vibrant medium weight flavors possess both good delineation and minerality while offering a more appealing texture on the bone-dry but not really austere finish. This is a very good villages and worth considering. *Outstanding Top Value!*"


92/100 Wine Enthusiast (2018 Vintage)
"Stony freshness on this wine's nose projects steeliness alongside a riper notion of juicy Mirabelle plum. The palate presents the same delicious juxtaposition. Concentration, freshness, zesty texture and ripeness all vie for attention. It's an engaging wine with a vividly fresh finish."


91/100 Decanter UK (2018 Vintage)
"Billaud-Simon have some of the best vineyards in Chablis, from generic right up to Grand Cru level. This highly enjoyable, unoaked white uses fruit from five different parcels and is a very well-balanced white that's typical of the earlier picked cuvées in 2018, combining nectarine and citrus flavours with a hint of boiled sweets and supporting acidity."
