Billaud Simon Chablis Les Blanchots Vieilles Vignes 2014

94 Points - Vinous

"(25% raised in very old barrels): Pale bright yellow. Compelling oyster-shell minerality combines beautifully with a floral element on the inviting nose, which shows little sign of oak. Wonderfully rich, silky and elegant; a highly concentrated wine with outstanding finesse of texture and captivating inner-mouth aromatic character. Builds slowly and lingers long on the fine-grained, palate-staining back end. Consistent from start to finish. From 2015 on, there will be just two barrels of this wine, one made of oak and the other of stainless steel."
