Domaine Bilaud-Simon, Chablis 1er Cru "Montee de Tonnerre" 2022

A Chablis 1er Cru Full of Energy

"Mostly in stainless steel, from the usual three plots giving an overall view of the cru. A pale to mid lemon colour. Citrus and limestone on the relatively chiselled nose. Plenty of energy on the palate, with ripe yellow fruit and a little youthful bitterness. This should come together to make a fine Montée de Tonnerre. A little white fruit flesh behind the initial yellow fruit notes. Excellent persistence."

STORY BEHIND THE WINE

Domaine Billaud-Simon has been a part of the Chablis wine region since 1815 and covers almost 17 hectares of vineyards in which Chardonnay reigns supreme. The Domaine currently counts four Grands Crus (Les Clos, Vaudésir, Les Preuses and Les Blanchots) as well as four Premiers Crus (Montée de Tonnerre, Fourchaume, Mont de Milieu and Les Vaillons). The Chablis wines of Domaine Billaud-Simon present sophistication, balance and pure Chardonnay fruit, which prove to be superb examples of modern style Chablis.
