Chablis Grand Cru Vaudesir 2022, Domaine Billaud Simon Chablis 0.75
Domaine Billaud-Simon was founded in 1815 by Charles Louis Noël Billaud after his return from the Napoleonic Wars. He planted vines on his family's estates, which were later expanded through the marriage of his relative Jean Billaud to Renée Simon in the 1930s. Located behind high walls near the Serein River, the winery is currently managed by Jean's son, Bernard. It is known as one of the best producers in Chablis. Billaud Simon's 20 hectares in Chablis include vineyards in 4 of the 7 Grand Crus: Blanchots, Les Clos, Les Preuses, and Vaudésir, as well as four leading Premier Crus: Fourchaume, Mont de Milieu, Montée de Tonnerre, and Vaillons. They also produce AC Chablis from their own fruit in Kimmeridgian (rich in limestone, clay, and marine fossils) soils surrounding the 1er and Grand Cru vineyards.
The origin of the name is unclear. It probably comes from "la vallée de tous les désirs," meaning "the valley of all desires," eagerly anticipated by wine lovers and winemakers every year. Whatever the case, it is certainly a very beautiful name for a wine climate.
Pale yellow hue with clear, green reflections. The complex nose reveals delicate aromas of white flowers (acacia and linden blossom), vanilla, and honey. The palate is well-structured, combining a rich texture and pleasant freshness.
The winery is currently in the process of organic conversion of its vineyards.
