Samuel Billaud - Chablis 2023 750ml
"Samuel Billaud is considered to be one of the select few outstanding producers in Chablis, able to draw out the unique characteristics of each of his fantastic terroirs. His wines have a distinctive elegance, balance and complexity that is seldom achieved with such precision. A blend of three great sites, Les Pargues (35 year old vines), Bas de Chapelot (40), and Les Quarts (90 year old), and some Fontenottes.
In the vineyard, the yields are managed strictly to accentuate the concentration of the grapes. Samuel chooses the harvest date without any compromise to ensure every plot is at optimal ripeness. Once picked, the grapes are pressed in the pneumatic press. Then the juice undergoes its alcoholic and malo-lactic fermentation in small stainless steel tanks. Finally, the wines are matured for 12 months on fine lees in stainless steel tanks." - Clos Cachet
"From Les Pargues, Les Cartes and Chapelot-Bas, the 2023 Chablis Grands Terroirs has a refreshing, quite minerally bouquet with hints of potpourri behind the citrus fruit. The palate is well balanced with a saline entry, and tightening in the middle. A steely, bitter lemon finish." - Neal Martin (Vinous)
