2023 Petit Chablis, Samuel Billaud

2023 Petit Chablis, Samuel Billaud

Samuel jokes that this is ‘Petit Chablis deluxe’. It comes from a parcel just above Grand Cru Les Clos, and is a rare example of Petit Chablis grown on a high proportion of Kimmeridgian, rather than purely Portlandian, limestone. Although Samuel does not distinguish within his range, all the fruit here comes from his own vines, ie ‘domaine’. Indeed, it’s one of the parcels he was most determined to hang onto after splitting from his family estate in 2009. In 2023, it is both generous and precise, with vibrant citrus, just-ripe pineapple and stony minerality running through it, with a creamy, smooth as silk length.
