demand their place in any great cellar. His Chablis is mainly produced from two parcels of old vines, each with differing exposures. Les Pargues, near the village of Préhy and boarding premier cru Vaillons, brings fruit and freshness to the blend, whilst Bas des Chapelots, just below the premier cru of Montée de Tonnerre, contributes greater depth, concentration and minerality.
This is an En Primeur wine and special conditions apply.

Samuel Billaud

Samuel continues to make many of the most exciting wines coming out of Chablis today, equal in quality to Jean-Marie and Bernard Raveneau, but at a fraction of the price. His 2020’s are a great range. Samuel decided to pick early, from the 28th August to the 6th September, and to age all his wines for at least 10 months on the fine lees, in order to achieve a winning combination of ripe, appley fruit on the nose, fresh, succulent texture on the palate and fine minerality and salinity on the finish. Samuel likens his 2020’s to his 2017’s – high praise indeed as the 2017’s are currently developing into spectacular wines.

Notes of lemon zest and a touch of crushed stone. Bright and zingy on that palate, it has a fresh acidity, generous texture and a lovely tension, all balanced by impressive concentration and length.
Hand-picked, fermented in steel tanks at a low temperature, this wine is classically mineral driven in character.
