Samuel Billaud Chablis Grand Cru Blanchot

Samuel Billaud stands as a beacon of excellence among Chablis producers, renowned for his unparalleled ability to express the distinct nuances of each remarkable terroir he cultivates. With an unwavering dedication to craftsmanship, his wines epitomize a rare trifecta of elegance, harmony, and intricacy, achieved with unparalleled finesse. Harnessing the essence of two illustrious vineyards, one nestled in the prestigious Haut-Chapelot enclave boasting vines of venerable 35 years, and the other gracing the slopes of Montée de Tonnerre with its ancient vines, Samuel orchestrates a symphony of flavors that captivate the senses. A judicious maturation process sees 25% of the blend aged in 600-liter oak barrels, imparting a whisper of opulence to the final masterpiece.
Exhibiting an even more exquisite embodiment of Chablis character, this wine enchants with its elegant and cooler profile, offering a delightful array of green apple, delicate acacia blossom, the briny allure of oyster shell, and a hint of quinine-infused aromas. The palate is a symphony of refinement, with intense yet gracefully balanced middleweight flavors that exude a captivating minerality and dry extract, seamlessly intertwining to create a sensation of profound depth. This complexity extends into the impressively prolonged finish, which leaves an indelible impression with its striking length and multifaceted charm. Truly, this wine exudes an unparalleled sense of style, embodying the essence of finesse with the grace and sophistication that can only be likened to a benchmark Blanchot.
