SAMUEL BILLAUD Chablis 1er Cru 'Fourneaux' 2023 Bottle

Description

The premiers crus on the right bank of the River Serein have a higher proportion of kimmerdigean limestone in the soil and the wines have greater intensity and minerality as a result. Well-sited adjacent to Mont de Mileu in the village of Fleys, the south-facing exposition gives extra ripeness and generosity. A full-bodied, concentrated wine that has excellent depth and ageing potential.

Jasper Morris 91-92 points "From two locations, Côte Pré-Girot and Les Fourneaux. Old vines in the latter on a very limestone bed. The bouquet is discreet, the palate is rather fine, with very evenly spread ripe citrus, plenty of stones, and very good length. Drink from 2027-2032. Tasted Jun 2024."
