2024 Samuel Billaud Chablis Mont de Milieu 1er

Burghound Sweet Spot Outstanding – “As is often the case, there is a vague suggestion of the exotic on the super-fresh and bright nose of citrus confit, quinine, petrol and shellfish. Much like the Fourneaux, the medium-bodied flavors are dense, powerful and serious with superb length on the balanced finish that is borderline tannic. This too could use more depth, but it is undeniably promising and should age accordingly.”
James Suckling 95 – “A beautiful wine with pristine limey fruit, mineral notes, oysters and chalky fruit. Almost full-bodied on the palate, but the fullness is marked by tension and tautness. Really good density of flavors and acidity. A wine to contemplate, with severeness, density and purity. Three plots: one in the lower part (85 years old), one in the middle (35 years old) and one on the top (70 years old). 20% 500-liter barrels between 3-5 years old. Drink or hold.”
