Description
In a nutshell:
An excellent, racy Premier Cru Chablis from Samuel Billaud, one of the finest winemakers in the appellation.
The lowdown:
For over 20 years Samuel Billaud has made some of the best wines that have recently come out of Chablis. Leaving the historic Domaine Billaud-Simon in 2009 and setting out on his own his wines have been internationally recognised, only getting better when he bought back some of his old family's winery's vineyards in 2014. This vibrant Premier Cru comes from old vines in the famous Vaillons vineyard and exudes classic precision and intense minerality that Billaud is known for. A structured, powerful and intense wine with great racy acidity coupled with a richness to the fruit and chalky finish. 2019 was a good year with Premier and Grand Crus producing age worthy wines with a classical freshness that this wine exemplifies.
When to drink:
Whenever you feel like it! As a rather good aperitif, but really coming into its own with seafood, fleshy and fatty fish in particular as the acidity just cuts through. This also can be said for food accompanied with sauces such as a beurre blanc.
