Domaine Billaud-Simon
Chablis Premier Cru Montée de Tonnerre
This climat is situated alongside the former Roman road that links the town of Auxerre with the town of Tonnerre. At this place, the road climbed the hillside up towards the plateau in the direction of Tonnerre. As an extension of the Grands Crus, this is the most diverse of the Premiers Crus with a very complete profile: mineral, floral, oiliness, body and a rich character
Planted on the right bank in Kimmeridgien marls, predominately made up of limestone and clay, Billaud-Simons 2.15ha plot sits on a south/southwest facing slope. The vineyards are farmed organically and will be fully certified beginning with the 2025 vintage.

Beautiful white gold hue with greenish tinges. This Premier Cru offers an exceptional aromatic profile with mineral notes and spice. On the palate, the perfect balance between strength, freshness, sweet fruity notes and intense floral aromas. A complex, elegant and remarkably harmonious wine.

"Fine, classic flavors of lemon, apple and flint mark this lively Chablis. Vibrant and harmonious, with a hint of bitter citrus on the lingering, stony aftertaste. Drink now through 2032. 292 cases made, 58 cases imported."
— Bruce Sanderson, 2025
