Wow! An incredible grand cru offering that stands apart from the other Billaud wines. Driven minerality that is restrained by a noticeable but not overpowering oak influence. Hauntingly ethereal, incredible complexity.

Three Grand Cru's BOOM! Just buy the one at the top! When you're talking $120 for the cheapest and $140 for the most expensive you may as well! The Blanchots steps it up a notch and punches above it's $ weight compared to the other two GC's. Poise, seamless integration with deceptively powerful lingering fruit separate it from the others. The Vaudésir is perhaps the most different in style of all the wines. Much fuller and rounder with a hint of overt oak, not in a bad way. Similar to the difference between Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligy-Montrachet. Ageing potential of Chablis is insane. When I was working at Yarra Yering on the naughties we were buying 1970's GC Chablis by Testut & Frére by the wheelbarrow for less than a price of couple of bottles of Yellow Tail. Hoovered it all now, insanely delicious as 30 year old wine. The lower alcohol, fresher, acid driven styles of Chardonnay being made in Australia today make it a much smaller leap to the wines of Chablis. One worth experimenting with!

成熟したブドウの果実味豊かな風味、
しっかりした酸味、ミネラルが１５年の熟成で素晴らしいバランスに。
若干の熟成香と南のフルーツの甘やかな香り

Back in my wheelhouse drinking this after the Lewis chard. Pale straw yellow. Refreshing acidity. Oyster shell and lime. Relatively long finish but the power is still a few years away from showing off. Really nice. Only gripe is poor qpr on list but so it goes
