Domaine Billaud-Simon
Petit Chablis
The Chablis wine region stretches along the Serein valley and across 20 communes. Chablis, known as the ‘Porte d’Or de la Bourgogne’ (‘Golden gates of Burgundy’), has succeeded in establishing a reputation for its dry white wines with a distinctive style: clear, aromatic and lively with a distinct minerality. The Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée “Petit Chablis” was established in 1944

- Aging
- The grapes are pressed gently by a pneumatic press, followed by one night of cold settling before vinification in stainless steel vats. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation occur naturally, and the resulting wine is aged for 14 to 16 months in stainless steel vats with, if necessary, some time spent in French oak barrels.

Beautiful white gold color with pale green glimmers. The nose is generous, direct and lively. This wine discloses citrus aromas, white flowers and a touch of minerality. The softness of the fruit is dominated by fresh notes of lemon, grapefruit, apple and fern combined with a delicate iodized character.
