Winemaker Notes
Domaine Billaud-Simon’s Chablis Grand Cru Bougros presents a luminous pale gold color with faint greenish glimmers, opening on the nose with an inviting, complex bouquet of ripe orchard fruits—such as white peach, juicy yellow pear, and crisp Granny Smith apple—complemented by candied lemon zest, white floral notes, and subtle hints of spice. On the palate, it strikes a harmonious balance between the site’s characteristic round, supple richness and a vibrant, laser-focused electric acidity. Ripe citrus and stone fruit flavors fill out the mid-palate, framed by an unmistakable Kimmeridgian chalky minerality and a persistent, elegantly saline finish.
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.
