Tasting Notes

The 2022 Samuel Billaud Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre shines with a luminous white-gold colour marked by greenish reflections, and offers a complex, elegant profile rooted in its pronounced minerality and vibrant acidity. The nose is precise and initially restrained, gradually opening to reveal crushed rocks, oyster shell, and a distinct marine salinity, alongside white flowers, acacia blossom, nectarine, white peach, green apple, and a subtle ginger-like spice. On the palate, the wine is concentrated and weighty yet driven by thrilling, electric acidity that lends remarkable energy and linearity. Ripe citrus and yellow fruit flavours—lemon, lime, and grapefruit—unfold over a pronounced chalky texture, with the discreet use of oak (20–25%) adding gentle richness and breadth without compromising freshness. The finish is harmonious, long, and persistent, carried by a briny, saline note that beautifully underscores its mineral backbone.

More About The Winery

The Billaud family has been producing outstanding Chablis since 1815, and today Samuel Billaud, the 6th generation, is recognized as one of the region’s most talented winemakers. After establishing his own domaine in 2010, Samuel quickly rose from a “rising star” to being regarded among the very best in Chablis, alongside Raveneau and Dauvissat.

Samuel Billaud crafts terroir-driven wines of extraordinary precision and vibrancy. From the crisp, steely freshness of Petit Chablis to the depth and complexity of his Premier and Grand Crus, his wines crackle with minerality, tension, and elegance, perfectly capturing the essence of Chablis’ Kimmeridgian limestone soils.

International critics, including Neal Martin, consistently praise Billaud’s wines for their singular clarity and poise. They are the embodiment of purity, finesse, and ageing potential, making them highly sought after by collectors and sommeliers worldwide.
