2024 Chablis 1er Cru Mont de Milieu, Domaine Samuel Billaud

Three different parcels here, too, two of which are very old. 80% of the cuvée is aged in steel, the rest in big barrels before all being blended together for a further six months on its lees in tank. The vineyard faces due south and there is good fruit intensity as a result, but the overriding sensation is one of lively sapidity which really ignites the palate. A hint of reduction and some great length and complexity. So much promise. Drink from 2030
