Billaud-Simon Chablis Tete D’Or- 2020 (750 ml)

Description

92 points James Suckling

I love the lemon-blossom character of this very bright Chablis, which has a lovely balance of oyster-shell character, creaminess from sur-lie maturation and racy acidity. Long, chalky finish with enough energy to give this plenty of aging potential.

(92, barrel sample) points Decanter

Longer aged than the classic Chablis cuve, with 25% matured in wood of different sizes. Plenty of weight and intensity from a selection of parcels just outside Monte de Tonnerre. Spicy, with some intriguing white pepper notes, Olivier Bailly says this will improve for at least three years. A wine to accompany food.
