Description
Samuel Billaud has a talent for coaxing the best out of northern Burgundy’s Chablis region where he set up his own winery a decade ago after 20 years at the helm of the family estate, Domaine Billaud-Simon. Considered the estate’s finest premier cru, Montée de Tonnerre Chardonnay comes from a pair of plots – one near the mountain’s base, the other higher up – to deliver a unique composition with rich and complex fruits, and a surprising nip of saline to introduce the long finish.
