NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
In the glass, the Samuel Billaud Chablis 1er Cru 'Les Fourneaux' displays a pale golden hue.On the nose, enticing aromas of citrus fruits, green apple, and a subtle hint of flint emerge, reflecting the cool climate and limestone-rich soils of the Chablis vineyards. The palate offers vibrant acidity, bringing freshness and liveliness to the wine. Flavors of lemon zest, white peach, and a touch of minerality dance on the tongue, creating a harmonious and well-balanced experience. The finish is long and satisfying, with a mineral-driven complexity that lingers elegantly. The Samuel Billaud Chablis 1er Cru 'Les Fourneaux' can be enjoyed now, but also has the potential to age gracefully.
