Vol- 75cl

“The 2022 Chablis Les Fourneaux 1er Cru is matured in stainless steel only. This is one of Billaud’s most unapologetically austere wines on the nose, a touch of wet limestone and flint, quite Zen-like. The poised and penetrating palate is citric with a superb line of acidity and a steely and persistent finish. This is another “live wire”.” 91-93 points, Neal Martin, Vinous, July 2023

- By Neal Martin, Vinous on July 2023 Let’s cut to the chase. Samuel Billaud is one of the most exciting winemakers in Chablis. He has the “touch” that elevates wines to another level, an uncommon sense of completeness and complexity. Would I put him in the same tier as Vincent Dauvissat and Raveneau? I would. “The 2022 growing season was easier than in 2021, with no problems of disease,” Billaud told me as we worked our way through a complete line-up of cuvées. “During the summer, there was just a little hydric stress, but only in the young vines. We started picking on August 25, cropped between 30hL/ha for the Grand Crus up to 55hL/ha for the Petit Chablis. There are no changes with the vinification. It’s just the harvests that change.” Readers should check out Billaud’s stunning Premier Cru Fourneaux and Montée de Tonnerre in 2021, while the Grand Crus of Blanchot and Bougros were the high points of my entire trip.
