Petit Chablis 2017
Billaud-Simon Petit Chablis is sourced from higher elevation vineyards throughout the appellation. Grapes are pneumatically pressed at the domaine and macerated at cool temperatures for a period of 5 to 7 days. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations, and ageing all occur in stainless steel vat. The wine is aged for 9 months prior to bottling.
Additional Information
Attractive white gold color with delicate, pale green reflections. The nose offers citrus and white flowers. The palate is refined, smooth and rich. Everything is perfectly balanced: lively yet discreet, mineral without being dry, fruity yet refined.

The Wine Advocate Author: William Kelley
Date: Friday, August 30, 2019"Bottled in July 2018, the 2017 Petit Chablis is showing well, exhibiting aromas of lemon oil, chamomile and stone fruit pits. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, saline and stony, with succulent acids and a mouthwatering finish. It's crying out for crustaceans."
