Winemaker Notes
The 2023 Domaine Billaud-Simon Chablis 1er Cru Les Vaillons opens with a bright, pale yellow hue showing soft golden highlights, delivering an alluring nose of ripe lemon, green apple, crisp orchard fruit, and delicate white blossoms over a backdrop of wet flint. On the palate, it strikes an impressive balance between round, sun-ripened fruit depth and a vibrant, mineral-driven core. Taut and beautifully structured, it brings a lively, precise acidity that cuts through the generous mouthfeel, leading into a long, dry finish defined by lingering citrus oil, chalky stones, and a refreshing salty tang.
About Winery
Founded in 1815 by Charles Louis Noël Billaud following the Napoleonic Wars, Domaine Billaud-Simon is one of the most historic wine producers in the Chablis region of Burgundy. The estate officially adopted its compound name in the 1930s when Jean Billaud married Renée Simon, uniting their family holdings and significantly expanding their vineyard footprint along the Serein River. Managed for decades by Bernard Billaud, the winery built a stellar reputation for crafting pure, crisp, and mineral-driven Chardonnays sourced from prime Kimmeridgian limestone terroirs, including notable Premier and Grand Cru plots. Following a family transition that saw former winemaker Samuel Billaud branch off to form his own label in 2009, the iconic house was acquired in 2014 by the prominent Nuits-Saint-Georges producer Domaine Faiveley, which modernised operations while maintaining Billaud-Simon's independent identity and classic winemaking style.
