Domaine Samuel Billaud - Petit Chablis 2018
The brilliantly talented Samuel Billaud was finding family politics hard going, so he has now founded his own wine label in Chablis separate from Domaine Billaud-Simon.
As far as we are concerned, the talent lies in the person and not the history, so we are delighted to have taken a small position with Samuel’s own wines. He does not own the vineyards but he does manage them, as well as crushing the grapes and vinifying the wines. We can certainly recognise his style in these offerings.
A delicious Petit Chablis from Samuel, from vines on the top of the Grand Cru hillside, that punch above their weight. Notes of apple blossom and sea spray, with a fine, long, and complex finish.
