    Domaine Billaud-Simon

    About Domaine Billaud-Simon

    Domaine Billaud-Simon was founded back in 1815 and had remained in family hands until 2014, when it was acquired by Domaine Faiveley – a challenging task considering the varying interests of members of the Billaud family. Despite being the new owners, Domaine Faiveley respected the long-standing practices established at Billaud-Simon even though their practices seemed rather unusual.

     

    “We discovered a winemaking style that we had no idea could work, but it worked very well. In 2014 we let the team do what they usually did, but since we were the owners we looked at what they did, and we were very surprised how late they picked. They were the latest in Chablis by far. At Faiveley we tend to pick a little early. We thought it was bizarre, yet it worked very well, so we have kept that philosophy.” – Erwan Faiveley

     

    Viniculture

    These same practices that have served Domaine Billaud-Simon so well are ultimately responsible for different glorious expressions from Chablis. Today, Billaud-Simon is one of the very top echelon of producers in the region. Year in year out, they are stylistically different yet comparable with the likes of Dauvissat and Raveneau. Mainly favouring stainless steel over oak in their fermentation and elevage, although a certain amount of larger oak is used in Preuses as well as a single barrel to 'tame' the saline terroir of Blanchots Grand Cru. The overall effect is a compelling range of elegant, pure and stunningly pristine wines for your cellar.

    Vinous (93)

    The 2019 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru is very well defined and focused on the nose, yellow flowers intermingling with crushed stone and light flinty aromas. The harmonious palate is well balanced with a fine sense of energy and good depth and energy toward the composed finish. Excellent.

    Vinous (85-87)

    The 2021 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru has an attractive nose with white peach and light white flower aromas, nicely focused and delineated. The palate is vibrant and edgy, just a bit of CO2 in my sample, although it needs more ballast on the finish.

    Vinous (90-92)

    The 2021 Chablis Vaulorent 1er Cru replaces the Vaillons this year and Billaud's supplier could not deliver - only two barrels-worth. It has a taut and crisp bouquet with green apple and light wild peach aromas. The palate is firm with nice acidity; it's linear and correct with hints of white peach and pear towards the pretty finish. Very fine.
