Domaine Billaud-Simon - Chablis 1er Cru Les Vaillons 2011
Note: Robert Parker 90-92/100
"The 2011 Chablis Vaillons unfurls on the palate with serious, deep intensity. Yellow peach, apricot, flowers, and spices blend beautifully in a long, polished finish. This is a fine demonstration of Vaillons. Light, floral notes linger on the palate of this welcoming and delicious Chablis." (Wine Advocate August 2012 - Robert Parker)

Eye
Beautiful pale golden yellow color, bright and clear
Nose
Gently and elegantly, floral and vegetal notes emerge through fresh hints of fern, acacia, white fruits, apple, pear, and vine peach...
Mouth
Ample and full-bodied, with roundness and no softness, the attack is perfectly balanced between mellowness and liveliness.

About the estate:
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated estate (2022 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the estate:
This family estate, established in Chablis since 1815, changed hands in 2014, passing into the fold of the Faiveley house, which thus expanded its holdings, already rich with 20 hectares of the finest Chablis terroirs, with 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 Petits Chablis. Olivier Bailly was appointed manager in 2014 and quickly refined the management of the vineyards. Since 2016, the return to high quality has been evident, and this estate is now one of the most reliable in Chablis.

Fruity nose, citrus fruits. Lemon flavor on the palate.
