    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.

    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.

    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.

    The 2020 Chablis Village was aged in stainless steel with minor barrel ageing. The bouquet has a light apple blossom and flinty bouquet. The palate is balanced with a fresh saline entry, modest depth with just a little attenuation on the finish. Drink over the next four to five years.

    Vinous (85-87)

    The 2021 Chablis Village is a clear step up from the Petit Chablis this year with more presence and intensity on the nose. The palate is balanced with red apple and orange pith on the entry and fine acidity, but this has a slightly conservative finish that needs more terroir expression.

    The 2012 Chablis Les Clos is totally intriguing. Initially a bit reticent, the Clos only blossoms on the mid-palate and finish, where the wine's texture and breadth are most apparent. Silky, perfumed and polished throughout, the 2012 impresses for its fabulous balance and faithful expression of this great site.

    (made in two barrels and the rest stainless steel): Bright light-medium yellow. Peach and spice aromas are complicated by saline sea spray and iodine. Thick but not at all heavy; a step up from the other 2015s here in urgent fruit and savory minerality. This seamless wine boasts real energy and bulletproof material. The spicy, saline, rising finish saturates the palate. The yield here was just 21 hectoliters per hectare, according to Bailly. This wine was quite dry and strict last year but has turned out well, even if it will require patience.

    The 2021 Chablis Les Preuses Grand Cru has a well-defined bouquet and perhaps is the most complete of the Grand Crus from the Domaine. The palate is well balanced with a touch more substance than Les Clos, fine acidity, quite taut and harmonious with good grip and energy on the finish. I can see this ageing nicely in bottle.

    The 2019 Chablis Tête d'Or has a composed bouquet of yellow plum, crushed rock and light fumé scents that uncoil in the glass. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. The oak barrel underpins this Chablis but doesn't obscure the terroir expression, though I would still afford it 12–18 months in bottle.

    The 2021 Chablis Tête d'Or has a tightly-wound nose with touches of pressed flower and light fern/damp loamy scents percolating through with time. The palate is fresh on the entry with sour lemon and orange rind, quite strict and linear with a brisk, malic finish. Fine.
