Goedhuis, December 2022
Light straw colour, this is a bright, pure and racy example of the appellation. Freshly squeezed limes and stone fruits, there are floral notes of jasmine and chamomile on the palate. Gentle and easy with approachable charm.

2021 Chablis: (from 11 parcels scattered around Chablis, the most notable of which are in Les Pargues). A slightly riper nose features notes of pear, apple and just enough Chablis character to be persuasive, all of which is trimmed in subtle wood influence. There is a bit more volume and richness to the delicious medium-weight flavors that display fine length on the highly vibrant and chiseled finale. This needs to develop more depth though that should reasonably occur. Drink 2025+

Jasper Morris MW, December 2022, Score: 86-88
To bottle before the harvest. Pale colour, very grapey but with some depth and structure. Mostly tank, a mix of domaine with some purchases. Zesty, some citrus, definite minerals with some marine notes, and enough persistence. Drink from 2024-2026.

The Billaud-Simon name is long-established in Chablis, dating back to 1815 when Charles-Louis-Noël Billaud purchased his first vineyards. The estate remained in family ownership for 200 years until Erwan Faiveley purchased Billaud-Simon for Joseph Faiveley in 2015. This represents a new era for the Faiveley family, one of the Côte d’Or’s most significant vineyard owners, now investing their expertise and commitment to producing great wines in the Yonne and Chablis with approximately 18 hectares of exceptional vineyard holdings including four premiers crus and four grands crus. Under the guidance of Wine Director Olivier Bailly, they remain respectful to the traditions of the estate and continue to sell the wines under the Billaud-Simon name. The style is graceful and pure. Olivier seeks to make wines with true appellational authenticity. Oak is kept to minimal levels, only used judiciously, allowing the natural fruit content to express itself to a maximum.Read less

Region
Chablis
Chablis is world famous for its fine white wines produced from the Chardonnay grape. The best vineyards are perched above the winding Serein river and are south or southwest facing ensuring better ripeness in this cooler climate. It has four appellation levels. Petit Chablis is the most modest and simple followed by Chablis, which is the largest and most prominent. Premier cru Chablis is the third largest appellation and encompasses almost 40 different climats or vineyards including the famed Montée de Tonnerre, Fourchaumes and Mont de Milieu. The most noble of all Chablis are the grand crus of which there are 7 climats in total Bougros, Les Preuses, Vaudésir, Grenouilles, Valmur, Les Clos and Blanchot. The wines of Chablis have remained some of the best value in the world, particularly their superb grand crus which can easily cost 50% less than its closest revered white grand cru neighbour, Corton Charlemagne.
