Tasting Notes

The 2023 combines ripe lemon, lime and fine apple with yellow fruit, floral perfume and crushed-stone minerality. It is layered and concentrated, yet energetic, with gentle grip and a bright line of acidity carrying the wine through a long finish.

About Domaine Samuel Billaud

After executing a high-stakes departure from his historic family estate in 2009, Samuel Billaud successfully reclaimed his personal share of Chablis’s most legendary, grand cru terroirs. Relying on early harvesting, organic farming, and a calculated restraint with oak, he crafts taut, coiled masterpieces that shimmer with blistering mineral tension and a razor-sharp, chiseled precision.

About Burgundy

Burgundy is France’s most detailed and site-driven region. Stretching from the cool slopes of Chablis in the north down through the Côte d’Or to the Mâconnais in the south. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are the foundations here, but the real story is how each village and vineyard expresses them differently. The Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune form the region’s core, while areas like the Côte Chalonnaise and Mâconnais add a broader mix of styles and accessibility. Burgundy is defined by careful vineyard work, long-established classifications and a focus on clarity of place rather than heavy winemaking influence.
