2021 Domaine Billaud-Simon Mont de Milieu Chablis Premier Cru
£49.00
“A very youthful Mont de Milieu. Winemaker Olivier Bailly noted that if you want to drink this young, make sure it is decanted for at least an hour. Greenish tint in the glass, aromas of white peach and pear. A premier cru cut with vibrant acidity, finishing with some mineral and saline notes. They own 3ha here, ranging from the bottom to the top of the Mont de Milieu slope. Has a very bright future.”

Product Description
All of the parcels at Domaine Billaud-Simon are planted within a two kilometre radius, on the left and right banks of the Serein, in the heart of this historical appellation. The Domaine currently counts four Grands Crus (Les Clos, Vaudésir, Les Preuses and Les Blanchots) as well as four Premiers Crus (Montée de Tonnerre, Fourchaume, Mont de Milieu and Les Vaillons). It also produces the Chablis “Tête d’Or”. This prestigious cuvée is made from a blend of the village’s highest quality parcels. Billaud-Simon’s exceptional quality vieilles vignes (old vines) are carefully tended to and enhanced by the domaine’s team.
The name ‘Mont de Milieu’ makes reference to the defining characteristic of this hillside which previously marked a boundary between two points. On one side was the Chablis constituency (an area across which a Lord or town had the right to jurisdiction), at the time in the Champagne constituency, and on the other side was the Fleys constituency which fell under the Duchy of Burgundy.
