1997 Edition
......................1996 Vintage…………
December 1997
Domaine
BILLAUD-SIMON receives the
CFV D'OR 1997 award for all
its 1996 vintage wines.
Domaine BILLAUD-SIMON: Unusually oacked, the Chablis wines
on this Estate covering 20 ha on the best sectors of this
appellation hold a clear, pure discourse, as close as
possible to the nuances of each cru.
Eight
of the wines produced by the BILLAUD-SIMON family emerged
from our tasting ! Our coups de coeur go to the , 96
Chablis with its mineral, full fruit nose: |
|
soft, a mouthful of flavour
with a magnificient, typical lemon-tone finale. Among the 96
Premiers
Crus
the
Montée
de Tonnerre is highly strong,
on hay and spice.
The Mont
de Milieu, on pepper
and white flowers, is tender and mature, with unchained
freshness. Finally the 96
Fourchaume, delicate, candied
citrus fruit, is remarkably elegant".
