Note di degustazione
White grapefruit, white currant, and lemon dominate the nose and bright palate of Billaud’s 2008 Chablis, which finishes on chalk and faintly bitter herbs and citrus oils, satisfyingly long for its appellation but less winsomely than the corresponding Petit Chablis. I would plan on drinking this over the next 18-24 months. Bernard Billaud agreed this year to show me his young grand crus in advance of their anticipated May or June bottling, even though they were on their finings. In addition, I was able to have my first taste of his 2007 grand crus. Imported by Langdon Shiverick, Los Angeles, CA; tel. (213) 483-5900

Bright pale yellow. Expressive aromas of white peach and spices. Dense, supple and sweet, with nicely integrated acidity framing the peachy flavor and giving the wine lift. A serious village wine with good length; and less exotic than the concentrated if rather oily Petit Chablis that preceded it.
