Domaine Billaud-Simon - Chablis 1er Cru Les Vaillons 2009
Rating: Robert Parker 93/100, RVF 14.5/20
The Les Vaillons cuvée is a full-bodied and rich Chablis Premier Cru, with beautiful roundness and no softness. The attack is perfectly balanced between smoothness and liveliness. With a focus on white fruit, the finish lingers with fresh and mineral notes. A Premier Cru of choice!

About the estate:
This family-owned estate, established in Chablis since 1815, changed hands in 2014, becoming part of the Faiveley estate. This expanded Faiveley’s portfolio, which already included 20 hectares of Chablis’s finest terroirs, featuring four grands crus: Les Clos, Les Preuses, Vaudésir, and Les Blanchots; four premiers crus: Montée de Tonnerre, Mont-de-Milieu, Fourchaume, and Vaillons, as well as Chablis and Petit Chablis. Olivier Bailly was appointed estate manager in 2014 and quickly refined the winemaking process. Starting in 2016, the return to top quality became evident, and this estate is now one of the most reliable in Chablis.

Review by Mr. SEBASTIEN L. Posted on March 12, 2013
I was disappointed by this wine. Le Petit Chablis, which is half the price, is just as good. The Chablis 1er Cru doesn't stand out enough.
