The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine For the past 10 years, Domaine Samuel Billaud has been turning heads in Chablis, consistently delivering standout wines with brilliant tension and shimmering minerality.

Awarded 2 stars in the Guide RVF—a prestigious French wine publication—the estate may be modest in size, with just 4 hectares under vine, but it boasts an impressive share of Premier and Grand Cru parcels.

Critics are unanimous in their praise for the precision and radiance of these wines, whose expression rivals some of the finest Whites from the Côte de Beaune.
Wine Fresh and delicate, the 2023 Chablis White opens with elegant chalky aromas, supported by a restrained aging process that preserves the purity of its citrus and white peach notes. With just the right level of ripeness, it’s lively, mineral-driven, and perfectly balanced. This Chardonnay offers immediate, unpretentious enjoyment—a beautifully made village-level Chablis to enjoy now or over the next three years and beyond.
Vinification Hand harvested. Vines aged 40 years on average. Aged on lees for 12 months in stainless steel vats.
