Elaborate hand picking and an additional check at the sorting table are the pillars of this sensational Chablis AOC quality! The "simple" Chablis AOC Billaud-Simon shows what is possible in the Village AOC in Chablis. This wine is matured without the influence of wood, the crystal-clear minerality should be in the foreground here.
2021 was a stylistically classic Chablis vintage with very precise and structured wines and moderate alcohol content. Just like it used to be. The scent already hints at the cool aromas with its aromas of white fruits, pears and some citrus fruits characterize the bouquet. On the palate it is fresh, with dashing minerality, taut and clear like a mountain stream. Pure Chablis from a top winery.
