Coming from a renowned Chablis lineage, Samuel Billaud embarked on an independent journey in 2009, establishing his eponymous Domaine. Previously the winemaker at Domaine Billaud-Simon, a respected producer synonymous with classic Chablis excellence, Samuel has achieved remarkable acclaim since launching his own label. This cuvée hails from Montée de Tonnerre, a prestigious Premier Cru vineyard in Chablis. Following the frost challenges of 2021, the arrival of the warm and sun-kissed 2022 vintage brought relief to Chablis` winemakers, who were pleased with a bountiful harvest of exceptional quality.

The 2022 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru has quite a fragrant, floral bouquet with yellow fruit and just a hint of orange blossom in the background. Very pretty. The palate is taut and fresh with a fine bead of acidity, though it lacks a bit of bandwidth and feels rather conservative on the finish. It does improve and gain more texture and tactile sensation with aeration, so perhaps give it a few more months in bottle. Bottled under Diam 30. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

Compared with the 2023, the key here is greater power and less openness. Less aromatic. A touch of spice and a depth that is more savoury than the 2023. Both deep and stony. Tightly wound on the finish. Long, salty finish. (JH)Julia Harding9th July 2024
