Domaine Billaud-Simon - Chablis Grand Cru Les Blanchots Vieilles Vignes 2009

Les Blanchots Vieilles Vignes is a beautiful Grand Cru that opens with honeyed and toasty nuances, along with fresh, fruity notes of lemongrass and verbena, slightly minty with a hint of honey candy in the background... Oak is present, with delicate vanilla aromas. A true must-try!

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—already comprising 20 hectares of Chablis’s finest terroirs—to include 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 wines. Olivier Bailly was appointed estate manager in 2014 and quickly refined the winemaking process. Beginning in 2016, a return to top quality became evident, and this estate is now one of the most reliable in Chablis.
