2023 | Domaine Billaud-Simon Tete d'Or Chardonnay | Chablis Villa Sonia A well-balanced carmenere showing plentyThis luxurious, rich Chablis merits its name, 'Golden Head', with its rich apricot and quince nose, hints of cream and spice and a dense, sensual texture. A slight point of pleasant bitterness brings freshness on the palate. This wine will likely please lovers of a Cte d'Or style, and although it lacks the chiselled character loved by some, it has its own unique charm. The grapes are from nearly 3ha of vines in the LAraigne and Le Bas de Chapelot
