Founded in 1815, Domaine Billaud-Simon is renowned for producing some of the finest wines in Chablis, which have a particularly steely and mineral style. Today the estate is owned by the Faiveley family of famed Burgundian producer, Domaine Faiveley. This release is the 2009 vintage from ‘Les Clos’, the largest climat in the Chablis Grand Cru appellation. The wine offers notes of white peach, honey and citrus fruit, wrapped by a lively, mineral acidity.

Pale straw-yellow. Initially reticent nose opened nicely to show complex aromas of smoky minerality, snap pea, orange zest and wild herbs; reminded me a bit of gruner veltliner. Densely packed and powerful, with the minerality of the vineyard trumping the ripe vintage character. Offers impressive volume without weight and finishes long, tactile and palate-staining, with a faint bitterness. This will require bottle aging to harmonize its acidity and salty component.Stephen Tanzer1st July 2011
