2023 | Domaine Billaud-Simon Chablis | Burgundy 1.5L Chateau Prieure de Beyzac red summer berries and dark

red summer berries and dark chocolate lead into a palate that is rich yet refreshing

A polished wine on entry with silky textured fruit so pure and so ripe and bright and perfectly expressive of black cherry

this wine captivates with its lifted and pretty aroma

home of the ravishing Frappato grape

but like estates from nearby on Bordeaux’s Right Bank

2023 | Domaine Billaud-Simon Chablis | Burgundy 1.5L Chateau Prieure de Beyzac red summer berries and darkThe village level Chablis from Billaud Simon is a classic expression of the terroir, with aromas of lemon peel and white flowers and a fine, silky texture. The acidity is balanced if not pronounced, giving the wine finesse without a lot of tension. Rgisseur Olivier Bailly notes that this final year of organic conversion was a struggle with the weather, but he is pleased with the final blend, which included 25% cask fermented wine. 92 Pts Decanter
