Quiet at first, this 2022 Vaudésir Grand Cru from Billaud-Simon builds into layered white peach and apricot fruit, bright citrus, and chalky tension, with the present oak adding spice and volume without masking its saline precision. Concentrated yet finely etched, it’s clearly structured for long development and will gain complexity as the wood element recedes in bottle.

Billaud‑Simon’s Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir is a single‑parcel Chardonnay from a right‑bank, Kimmeridgian clay‑limestone slope (roughly half a hectare) that the domaine farms organically; the wine combines floral and honeyed/vanilla perfume with a rich, rounded palate underpinned by bright Chablis acidity and a saline, mineral backbone, typically aged about 14–16 months to preserve tension and ageability.
