  we very much liked
.....................2000 Vintage…………..
" It is only at the bottom of the range of the Estate's wines and yet it has everything to please, highly elegant in the mouth and a dazzling finale of white fruit and peach. ”
Chablis Cuvée Tête d'Or
" Is longer in the mouth and is more mineral ".

Chablis Premier Cru
MONTÉE de TONNERRE
" The white flowers give great class to this elegant, long wine, its mineral tones are well asserted transcending above superb, most concentrated matter. With its pleasing nut bouquet Mont de Milieu is very close, as is Fourchaume which displays more generosity ".

Chablis Grand Cru Les BLANCHOTS
" This wine is in an imposing oacked phase, but its magnificent mineral matter penetrates throught the partition to assert its charm and fullness ".

Chablis Grand Cru Les CLOS ()
" As in 1999 this half-bodied Clos is cloaked in mineral, unusual elegance for this soil which produces rather more massive wines ".

Chablis Grand Cru Les PREUSES
 
" Incredible elegance is the characteristic of this fine wine with its delicate hints ofhoneysuckle and white peach. A masterly success ".
Chablis Grand Cru VAUDÉSIR
" Though its nose may have a subtle start, 
it is full-bodied in the mouth with magnificent  ripeness of fruit. "

.................... 1991 Vintage……………
"Chablis: changing of the guard"
"The Grand Cru les Blanchots 1991 Vieille vigne by Billaud-Simon (helas! produced in supremely confidentiel quantiry) showed astonishing fullness of structure for this vintage exhibiting all th nobility of its soil with his incredible aroma both lactic and tainted with mushroom".
