Domaine Billaud-Simon Story
Founded in 1815 by Charles Louis Noël Billaud, Domaine Billaud-Simon has long been a cornerstone of Chablis. In the 1930s, the estate expanded through the marriage of Jean Billaud to Renée Simon, bringing new vineyard holdings and family stewardship. Focused on crisp, mineral-driven Chardonnay with finesse, purity, and elegance, the wines balance vibrant acidity with fruit richness, offering both early appeal and aging potential. Today, the Domaine remains independently managed, preserving its modern style while refining quality.
