Domaine Billaud-Simon
Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses
This parcel takes its name from the word “pierre” meaning “stone”. La perrière was the old French term for a quarry. “Les Preuses” are situated alongside an ancient Roman road. Over time ‘la pierreuse’ became ‘la Preuse’.
Planted on the right bank in a combonation of marls and kimmeridgien limestone, Billaud-Simons 0.41ha plot sits on a south/southeast facing slope. The vineyards are farmed organically and will be fully certified beginning with the 2025 vintage.

Light yellow in color with golden reflections. The nose is rich yet delicate with mineral, creamy, floral and slightly iodized notes combined with a touch of honey and dried fruits. The palate reveals a powerful, well-honed and distinctive mid-palate. This wine offers a remarkable reflection of its clay terroir. Aromas of citrus blend harmoniously with mineral and iodized notes from its outstanding terroir.

"A clean, refreshing white, this boasts lemon, apple, honey and flint flavors. Elegant and linear, with fine balance and sneaky length."
— Bruce Sanderson, 2025
