This cuvee exists because of a disaster: in 2016 frost wiped out most of Samuel Billaud's Chablis crop, so he went looking for Chardonnay elsewhere and blended fruit from around Chablis with grapes from the Maconnais. The marriage works - Chablisien precision, Maconnais vibrancy - and an entry-level bottling from a producer of this calibre is one of the more dependable ways to find real value in white Burgundy. Billaud walked away from his family's Domaine Billaud-Simon in 2009 to start his own house in the centre of Chablis, where he works to organic methods without bothering to certify them. The wine ferments partly in small stainless tanks and partly in 400-litre barrels, then spends twelve months on fine lees in tank. 2022 was the sunniest vintage on record in Chablis and this has the roundness to match, golden orchard fruit sitting on an oyster-shell snap.

"The 2022 Bourgogne d'Or, a blend between Mâcon Nord and Auxerrois, has a fragrant nose with hints of melted butter and yellow flowers and a touch of vanilla pod in the background. The palate is well-balanced with a pleasant "bite" on the entry, fresh and tangy, with a hint of marmalade on the finish." —Vinous

Robert Parker

"The 2022 Bourgogne Chardonnay is the usual blend of Auxerrois and Mâconnais must, and it has turned out nicely, delivering aromas of pears, apples, white flowers and fresh bread, followed by a medium-bodied, ample and fleshy palate that's pure and charming, nodding more to the south than the north this year." —Robert Parker

Decanter

89 points

"Attractive wine with quite a bit of colour, good acidity and apple fruit character. 50% of the grapes from north of Mâcon, 50% Chablis from Auxerre."
