This is a unique site, tucked into a south-east facing valley where the morning sun does the heavy lifting, preserving a level of perfume and freshness that sets it apart from its more brawny neighbours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSamuel works with 40-year-old vines in the heart of the climat, and he treats the fruit with his typical obsessive precision. It spends a year in 500-litre Chassin barrels followed by six months in tank - a move that builds a serious, silken texture without ever letting the oak get in the way of the crystalline fruit. This is the Billaud style in high definition: surgical clarity meeting a supple, seamless mouthfeel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s incredibly aromatic, showing white flowers, grapefruit peel, and white peach. On the palate, it’s tensile and saline, driven by a racy acidity and that distinctively chalky, crushed-stone extract. It’s slightly more compact and elegant than his Vaudésir or Les Clos, making it an intellectual’s Grand Cru. A stunning, sophisticated bottle for those who value finesse over brute force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Issuing from 40-year-old vines in the middle of the climat with clay-rich soils, and matured for a year in 500-liter barrels (from Tonnellerie Chassin), followed by six months in tank, the 2023 Chablis Grand Cru Blanchot is another success. Opening in the glass to reveal notes of white flowers, grapefruit peel and white peach, it’s medium to full-bodied, bright and precise, structured around racy acidity and chalky extract. It’s tensile and saline, slightly more compact than the richer, more muscular Vaudésir and Les Clos tasted alongside it.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Kritaps Karklins (The Wine Advocate)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Samuel Billaud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56142114488692,"sku":"mbc1789958622301","price":170.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/5613\/8100\/files\/2023-samuel-billaud-chablis-grand-cru-blanchot_1.png?v=1789958628","url":"https:\/\/petcameramon.shop\/products\/2023-samuel-billaud-chablis-grand-cru-blanchot","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
