With its soils characterised by the famous Kimmeridgian, Vaillons ranks amongst the most sought-after terroirs in Chablis. Here, the Chardonnay expresses a unique character, at once luminous, taut and deeply mineral. At Samuel Billaud, this identity is expressed with remarkable precision, in a style where the purity of the fruit is accompanied by a delicate texture and great finesse. The 2023 vintage reveals a particularly nuanced bouquet on the nose. The initial notes evoke delicate almond and white chocolate, followed by hints of beeswax, orange oil and oyster shell. A briny, mineral dimension lends the wine that sensation of freshness and depth which is the hallmark of great Chablis wines. On the palate, the attack is silky and satiny, with a full-bodied yet elegant texture, underpinned by precise acidity that draws out the wine’s length with great finesse. The finish, long and delicately briny, reveals all the nobility of Vaillons: a Chablis of remarkable balance, where richness and tension are naturally in harmony.
