Tasting notes
Pale lemon colour. Who would have thought this was merely a Petit Chablis when you put the glass to your nose? Quite fleshy now with a few months bottle age, but delivering a delicious full-bodied Petit Chablis. Drink from 2024-2026. Tasted Jun 2024.

The 2022 Petit Chablis Sur Les Clos has a crisp nose, stricter than the 2023 and perhaps with a touch more horsepower. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, a little more depth than the 2023, smooth and harmonious towards the finish. Lovely.
Super-precise and yet with plenty of complexity for a Petit Chablis. Apple fruit flavours, great acidity and also lots to enjoy already. A very fine example. The vines, situated above the forest of Les Clos, were planted in 1976 by Samuel's father.
A strong effort from this over-performing cuvée, derived from vines planted in 1976, Billaud's 2022 Petit Chablis is a medium to full-bodied, suave and charming wine evocative of sweet citrus fruit, white flowers, green apple and beeswax.
About the producer
Samuel Billaud started making wine under his own name in 2009, but he is one of the most experienced producers in Chablis, having made wine in the region since 1985.
