From both sides of this famed slope, Billaud-Simon’s 2023 Chablis Vaudésir Grand Cru shows coiled power beneath its smooth, concentrated texture, with ripe citrus and stone-fruit depth framed by chalky, sea-breeze freshness. The oak is present but already well-integrated, lending a touch of creaminess without weighing down the long, focused finish. This is a refined, tightly packed Vaudésir that clearly needs time to reveal its full complexity.

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.
