2022 Chablis, Samuel Billaud, Burgundy

Description

As ever, this comes from three highly regarded village vineyards – Bas de Chapelot, Pargues and Cartes – all of which are adjacent to Premiers Crus. This is classical with oyster shell and citrus fruit on the nose. The palate is juicy and saline, nicely wrapped in orchard fruit before finishing with a tingling freshness.

Critics reviews

Jasper Morris MW 89-92/100

A blend of three great sites, Les Pargues 35 year old vines), Bas de Chapelot 40), and Les Quarts 90 year old), and some Fontenottes. Bright pale colour. Excellent tension, even bitterness. This definitely needs more elevage so will be bottled later than the Petit Chablis. Some riper notes before a much more saline finish. Impeccable and totally Chablis.

The 2022 Chablis Grands Terroirs comes from the usual three parcels. The nose offers yellow plum and verbena, touches of chalk emerging with aeration. The palate has real "zing" on the entry, sharp and pointed, taut and linear, revivifying the senses with impressive concentration on the finish. Citrus-fresh, very saline - superb.

Pretty forceful, direct acidity here. Classic Chablis style. Will age. Comes from two plots situated on the left bank of the Serein, with one positioned below Montée de Tonnerre. They are fermented and kept separate before blending. Mostly hand-harvested.

About this wine

Chablis

Chablis

Chablis lies further north than the rest of Burgundy, located about halfway between Beaune and Paris; it’s actually not all that far from Champagne. The wines here – exclusively whites from Chardonnay – differ in style from other white Burgundies: they tend towards steeliness and flintiness.
