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

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. 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.

Fruity nose with citrus notes. Lemon-flavored on the palate
