| Description: | Domaine Billaud-Simon is an elite domaine in Chablis, founded by Charles Louis Noël Billaud in 1815 at the end of the Napoleonic Wars when he returned home to Chablis. He decided to plant the first vines shortly after his return with the help of his family's holdings. The domaine acquired more vineyards in the 1930's with the marriage of his descendant Jean Billaud to Renée Simon. Jean managed the Domaine alongside his father-in-law Jules Simon. Eventually Jean Billaud's son, Bernard, took over the Family estate and ran it until its acquisition by the famed Burgundian Faiveley family in 2014. Today Domaine Billaud Simon is managed independently from Domaine Faiveley with its own winemaking facilities, and team. They strive to continually improve quality, while preserving the style of classical Chablis wines. Billaud-Simon seeks to produce a crisp, mineral style of Chablis with finesse, purity, and elegance. These wines are delicious when young, yet offer great ageing potential – the benchmark high acidity is complimented by richness of fruit, particularly in the Grand Crus which will typically improve in bottle for at least a decade. The Chablis wines of Domaine Billaud-Simon present sophistication, balance and pure Chardonnay fruit, which prove to be superb examples of modern style Chablis. |
