2020 Domaine Samuel Billaud 1er Cru "Mont de Milieu" Chablis, Burgundy, France
Regular price $75.00
Unit price per
100% Chardonnay
Part of an esteemed Chablis family, Samuel Billaud struck out on his own in 2009 to found his own winery. The new winery lies in the heart of Chablis and used to belong to Stéphane Moreau-Naudet. It is set up so that Billaud only needs to pump his wines once, then gravity does the rest. Due to his deep roots in Chablis, Samuel is able to purchase grapes from some of the finest, most well-established growers. In the cellar, the premier and grand cru wines see about 15% new wood in the form of large 450 and 600 L barrels, which offsets any overt “oakiness.” The rest is fermented in small stainless steel tank. For Burgundy lovers, this is a wine not to miss.
Aromas of white flowers, citrus oil, white currants, freshly baked bread and beeswax, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, with a layered mid-palate underpinned by racy acids, concluding with a long, saline finish.
