Domaine Samuel Billaud

Samuel Billaud Cave
Newly arrived in stock, we are delighted to offer a leading Domaine in Chablis in the excellent 2021 vintage.  Exciting top quality wines, at a fraction of the price of other top producers. 
  
"Samuel Billaud is one of those winemakers who epitomizes great, traditional Chablis …We should see him right at the top of Chablis producers alongside the likes of Raveneau and Vincent Dauvissat."  
Neal Martin

For twenty years Samuel Billaud was responsible for the family estate Domaine Billaud-Simon making excellent Chablis, before setting up his own winery in 2009.  In 2014 he recovered his share of the Billaud-Simon vines which he now makes and bottles under his own self-named Domaine, with a new winery in the centre of Chablis.  
 
Quite simply, Samuel is one of the best producers in Chablis at the moment.  If you have not discovered the wines, what are you waiting for?"

2021Chablis Grands Terroirs, Samuel Billaud12x75cl4-£240CS(12)[Add to shopping basket]91---89-92
"The 2021 Chablis Grands Terroirs comes from three parcels. This has fine definition and mineralité on the nose with scents of flint and smoke. The palate is fresh on the entry with a fine bead of acidity, crisp and precise with an effervescent finish. Recommended. Drink 2023-2028."   91 NM

2021Chablis Montsmains, 1er Cru, Samuel Billaud12x75cl1-£415CS(12)[Add to shopping basket]91-93---91-93
"The 2021 Chablis Montmains 1er Cru was acutely affected by frost, 10-15hl/ha this year. It has a lovely nose with Granny Smith apples, Nashi pear and light flinty aromas that unfold in the glass. The palate is very well balanced, very malic and tensile with impressive weight and energy towards the finish. Small in quantity, big in quality. Drink 2024-2037."

2021Chablis Sechet Vv 1er Cru, Samuel Billaud12x75cl2-£495CS(12)[Add to shopping basket]92-94---92
"The 2021 Chablis Les Séchets 1er Cru has another very backward nose and raised only in stainless steel for 18 months, this is another "serious", perhaps "mean" nose that is designed for the most purist Chablis-lovers. The palate is very well balanced with a killer line of acidity, taut and fresh with a lip-smacking saline finish that begs another sip. Only to be drunk with a large plate of fresh oysters! Drink 2024-2042."

2021Chablis Montee de Tonnerre, 1er Cru, Samuel Billaud12x75cl1-£505CS(12)[Add to shopping basket]93-95-92-94-93-95
"The 2021 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru, vinified the same as the Mont de Milieu, has another "serious" backward, saline nose, almost with a slight seaweed scent. Fine acidity in the mouth, the palate is well balanced and very focused with hints of orange rind and apricot rendering it a little more consumer-friendly than the Mont de Milieu. Superb. Drink 2024-2040."
