A Petit Chablis grown on the plateau directly above Grand Cru Les Clos, from vines Samuel Billaud's father planted in 1976 - about as good an address as this appellation gets. Petit Chablis sits up on the harder Portlandian limestone that caps the hills rather than the Kimmeridgian marl of the slopes below, which is why it reads leaner and more direct than village Chablis; this south-facing, well-ventilated parcel gives it more flesh than most. Billaud left the family's Domaine Billaud-Simon in 2009 to build his own cellar in the middle of Chablis, and he keeps this one entirely in stainless steel so nothing softens the edges. 2024 was a brutal season here - the Serein flooded the town in April, then frost, then May hail, then mildew, with yields down to a fraction of normal - but what survived is the most classical, taut Chablis in years. Serve it very cold with something from the sea.

"A classic Chablis nose of mineral reduction, iodine and Granny Smith apple leads to dense and gorgeously textured middle weight flavors that culminate in a detailed, even chiseled, long finish that is markedly dry finish but not especially austere. This is an excellent Petit Chablis."

Antonio Galloni

"The 2024 Petit Chablis Sur Les Clos was cropped around 15 hl/ha due to poor flowering. It has a clean, well-defined nose with more energy than its peers. The palate has a crisp, citric line of acidity. This is very tensile and energetic with superb weight on the finish. The 2024 is classy." —Neal Martin

"Affected by frost and hail—yielding barely 25 hectoliters per hectare—Samuel Billaud’s 2024 Petit Chablis wafts from the glass with scents of lemon oil, Granny Smith apple and oyster liquor. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, taut and chiseled, displaying the coolness of the vintage with a taut musculature. It is vinified exclusively in stainless steel." —Kristaps Karklins

"Expressive, pure, direct citrus aroma, both lemon and grapefruit, plus a lovely overlay of stone dust, and almost floral. Masses of tension and a fine grip, high acidity is balanced by that firm texture and terrific length. More and more aromatic with air. Much lower yields than in 2023, which was up at the legal maximum." —Julia Harding

Decanter

90 points

"Understated, showing bright aromas of lemon peel and green apple on the initial attack, leading into a lively, fresh texture, light body and moderate length. The grapes are from the top of Les Clos in the lieu-dit Sur Les Clos, from vines planted in 1976. Although there was a bit of hail here, Billaud managed 20 hl/ha, producing a refreshing wine perfect for drinking on release." —Charles Curtis

More about Samuel Billaud

Samuel Billaud made wine for over 20 vintages at his family's Domaine Billaud-Simon before branching out in 2009 with his own vision. When the family domaine sold in 2014, he secured several prime vineyard parcels in Les Clos, Vaudésir, Blanchot, and other Premier Cru sites—15 hectares total. Hand-harvest for top cuvées, measured oak use (10–20% new), stainless steel aging for village wines. This is a modernist approach to classical Chablis—mineral, precise, terroir-driven.
