2020  Montee de Tonnerre

"A restrained, elegant and pure nose displays notes of various floral influences, citrus, Granny Smith apples and mineral reduction. The refined but almost painfully intense medium-bodied flavors exhibit a lovely sense of minerality that adds a sense of lift to the impressively long and well-balanced finale. Lovely and really quite classy." - 93/Outstanding BH ---- "The 2020 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre is another notable success for Samuel Billaud this year. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of white flowers, citrus oil, white currants, freshly baked bread and beeswax, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, with a layered mid-palate underpinned by racy acids, concluding with a long, saline finish." - 93+pts WA

2020  Sechet V.V.

Sechet V.V. ---- "Always one of the highlights in Billaud's range, the 2020 Chablis 1er Cru Séchet Vieilles Vignes has once again turned out brilliantly. Exhibiting aromas of crisp orchard fruit, white currants, citrus zest, pastry cream and freshly baked bread, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and chiseled, with an ample core of fruit, racy acids and a long, saline finish. It's worth a special effort to seek out." - 94pts WA

2019  NSG Aux Saints-Juliens

NSG Aux Saints-Juliens ---- "Aromas of raspberries, plums, raw cocoa, exotic spices and loamy soil introduce Julien's 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Saints-Juliens, a medium to full-bodied, lively wine that's a touch more concentrated and tightly wound than Julien's blended communal Nuits-Saint-Georges. It will reward a modicum of bottle age." - 90+pts WA

2018  

"The 2018 Fixin Vieilles Vignes displays aromas of plums, berries and dried flowers, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fine-boned and mineral palate that's precise and elegant. This old-vine cuvée, derived from two complementary parcels, is quintessential Fixin." - 89-91 WA

Santenots

2019  Bourgogne Blanc

2016  Pouilly-Fuisse

"The 2016 Pouilly-Fuissé Les Brûlés is a richer, ampler wine than the Combottes, wafting from the glass with notes of musky peach, citrus blossom and a spicy framing of new oak. On the palate, it's full-bodied, deep and foursquare, with good tangy acids and a saline finish despite its scale and power. It's matured in 100% new wood, but it has digested it remarkably well." - 92pts WA

2005  Les Chenevottes, 1er Cru

2019  

"There is a lovely freshness to the distinctly cool aromas of earth, the sauvage, a plethora of floral elements and essence of red currant. There is terrific vibrancy to the tension-filled medium weight flavors that brim with minerality on the highly refreshing finish that is sufficiently rich and pliant that this could be enjoyed after only a few years of bottle age. A quality Fixin villages that is worth checking out." - Outstanding Top Value, Burghound

2019  Marsannay Rouge

2019  Aloxe-Corton Les Valozieres

Aloxe-Corton Les Valozieres ---- "Notions of red plums, cherries, forest floor and raw cocoa introduce the 2019 Aloxe-Corton Les Valozières, a medium to full-bodied, round and fleshy wine that's lively and elegant, testimony to Julien's deft hand with this north-facing and potentially rustic site." - 90pts WA
