94 points, Vinous

The 2021 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru retains its serious and backward nose, very saline and still with that faint tang of kelp/Japanese nori. The palate is beautifully balanced with a keen thread of acidity, notes of orange rind and a more malic finish than I recall, yet with the same wondrous elegance and poise. This will age wonderfully in bottle and require time for the aromatics to awaken.

Tasting Profile

  • Body: Medium-bodied
  • Tannins: None. The structure comes from the wine's vibrant acidity and underlying minerality rather than any phenolic grip.
  • Acidity: The acidity in this Montée de Tonnerre is high and electric. It provides a thrilling backbone to the wine, contributing to its freshness, energy, and impressive length. This incisive acidity is beautifully balanced, preventing the wine from feeling sharp or aggressive..
  • Sweetness: Dry

Tasting Notes: Upon the first swirl, the Domaine Samuel Billaud Montée de Tonnerre 2021 reveals an enticing bouquet of crisp green apple and zesty lemon, underscored by a distinctive flinty minerality reminiscent of crushed seashells. Hints of white flowers and a subtle smoky nuance add complexity. On the palate, these aromas echo with remarkable precision, joined by a vibrant saline character that lingers through the long and mouthwatering finish.

Discover the Winery: Samuel Billaud

Part of an esteemed Chablis family, Samuel Billaud struck out on his own in 2009 to found his eponymous domaine. He had previously been the winemaker at Domaine Billaud-Simon, which had been a shining light in the old school Chablis clubhouse of quality. Since the creation of his own label, Samuel has met with great success and moved into a new winery space in 2015 as well as purchasing four hectares of vines that had previously belonged to Domaine Billaud-Simon. The new winery lies in the heart of Chablis and used to belong to Stéphane Moreau-Naudet. It is set up so that Billaud only needs to pump his wines once, then gravity does the rest. The rest of the facilities consist of brand new stainless steel tanks and underground storage for barrels. The recently purchased hectarage includes land in the grand crus Les Clos, Vaudésir, Montée de Tonnerre, Mont de Milieu, Séchet, and in the village level vineyards Les Pargues and Chapelot, as well as a Petit Chablis parcel directly to the north of Les Clos. He is also sourcing fruit from the grand crus Blanchots, Valmur, and Bougros. Due to his deep roots in Chablis, Samuel is able to purchase grapes from some of the finest, most well-established growers. In the cellar, the premier and grand cru wines see about 15% new wood in the form of large 450 and 600 L barrels, which offsets any overt “oakiness.” The rest is fermented in small stainless steel tank. The resulting range, from AC to Grand Cru, are layered wines rife with crunchy oyster shell and silex, and exhibit a range of flavor profiles from licorice to white peach to toasty baguette. This is top quality Chablis from a rising star producer – for white Burgundy lovers, these are not to be missed.
