Flavour Profile
Samuel Billaud is a benchmark in Chablis and a true tour de force. In the past decade that we’ve listed Samuel’s wines, we’ve seen them soar from being relatively unknown to competing with the most famous names in the region.
Treated with the same lavish care as his renowned Grands Crus, Samuel Billaud Petit Chablis offers outstanding value. The vineyard lies just above Grand Cru Les Clos and was planted by Samuel’s grandfather. The high proportion of Kimmeridgian soil (unusual for Petit Chablis) gives it that classic Chablis stony minerality. A wine to stockpile, this “punches well above its weight” 94pts, wineanorak.com.
“Let’s cut to the chase. Samuel Billaud is one of the most exciting winemakers in Chablis. He has the ‘touch’ that elevates wines to another level, an uncommon sense of completeness and complexity. Would I put him in the same tier as Vincent Dauvissat and Raveneau? I would…” Neal Martin, Vinous.com.
