The 2017 Chablis Les Vaillons 1er Cru is bright, precise and wonderfully lifted. Bright floral notes, orchard fruit, lemon confit and mint are some of the many notes that grace this exquisite Chablis from Billaud-Simon. In this tasting, the 2017 stands out for its aromatic intensity, nuance and class. This is such a pretty wine. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, January 2020)

Sense of place. Lemon, lemon oil, crushed white stone, basil.

Barrel sampling the 2015 vintage before it's released. Shocked by the balance and depth. Chalk, smoke, lime and marshmallow. Not usually a fan of Chablis but this wine opened my eyes! Buy this.

2011...not as reticent as previous bottle and showing more richness, texture, dimension.

Not overly sulphured and barely reduced which is great. A nice drink but doesn't show too much distinction, this is what I am gathering about 2011 Chablis, though could be producer. Will look forward to trying other cuvées from this producer.

Very high acidity, starting to develop a bit, with a ways to go. A little softer and rounder than Expected
