Buy OnlineThis 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 (2022 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."
Jasper Morris (2022 Vintage)
"Mostly made in stainless steel, rounded out with a few barrels. Paler in colour than the Petit Chablis with a fresh, quite lean, quite marine nose. Fresh grapes with a saltier finish, medium bodied yet with good length. Quite a stylish and classic Chablis. Drink from 2024-2027."
91/100 Wine Spectator (2022 Vintage)
"Clean and briny, this white exhibits oyster shell, peach, apple and lemon aromas and flavours. Balanced and persistent, leaving a long, detailed aftertaste. Drink now through 2028."
91/100 Allen Meadows, Burghound (2022 Vintage)
"Note: from 11 parcels scattered around Chablis, the most notable of which are in Les Pargues. Here there is notably better typicity with its nose of ripe pear, mineral reduction and algae. The sleek, delicious and more voluminous flavours that possess solid mid-palate density while displaying good precision on the clean, dry and sneaky long finale. This is worth checking out.*Outstanding Top Value!*"
