Domaine Billaud-Simon Chablis Premier Cru Vaillons 2005 is a Chardonnay from the Kimmeridgian limestone slopes of the left bank of the Serein. The 2005 vintage in Chablis produced wines with notable ripeness and weight, contrasting with the region`s more typical steely austerity. Winemaking involved fermentation in stainless steel to preserve the purity of the fruit and the floral character of the Vaillons vineyard. Two decades of ageing have transformed the primary citrus and green apple notes into complex layers of honey, dried apricot and crushed oyster shell. The palate remains energetic, defined by a persistent saline finish and a rounded texture that reflects the warmth of the growing season.

Vinous
Pure, complex nose offers vineyard peach, flowers and subtle hazelnut. Rich and fat with fruit; quite open today owing to its well-integrated acidity. Finishes dense and fine-grained, with an almost minty lift.Stephen Tanzer1st November 2006
