Winemaker Notes
Domaine Billaud-Simon’s Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir opens with a ethereal, highly floral bouquet of white peach, orange blossom, and lime zest underpinned by crushed flint and wet chalk. On the palate, it exhibits extraordinary finesse and purity, balancing a rich, silky texture with a piercing, vibrant acidity characteristic of its amphitheater-like slope. Flavors of green apple, juicy citrus, and a hint of white pepper give way to an intensely mineral, saline finish that lingers long after the first sip.
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.
