Founded in 1825, Billaud-Simon is one of the leading wine producers in Chablis, focused on Grand Cru and Premier Cru expressions. The estate covers approximately 17 hectares of vineyards and today is owned by Domaine Faiveley. This particular cuvée comes from the Grand Cru Les Preuses, where Kimmeridgian soils and a sunny aspect make for an excellent terroir. The 2015 vintage is currently revealing aromas of pear, quince, apricot and peach combined with fresh citrus notes.
90 Vinous
Pale, bright yellow. Musky, lower-toned aromas of ripe yellow fruits, minerals, smoke and earth; less pristine than the Vaudesir. Then sweet, round and a bit exotic, with apricot and peach blossom flavors dominating today. Bernard Billaud notes that this wine is always rounder and more open than the Vaudesir, but I find some slightly disjointed acidity in the middle palate today. Still, this finishes suave and long, with a rather refined texture.Stephen Tanzer1st July 2007
