2010 vintage is perfect now. Still some dark red fruit wet stone minerality with a long finish — an hour ago

My first time here in Chablis! I chose to have with dinner (Wine Not, a fantastic wine bar & restaurant in Chablis) a bottle from a winemaker who doesn’t need a great deal of introduction nowadays. Samuel Billaud has fast become one of the region’s most exciting winemakers, so I was eager to try something of his. This was on the list for the veritable bargain of €65. Mont de Milieu is a premier cru from the right bank of the Sereine, a vineyard which shares a very similar aspect, and soils, to Les Clos. The 2020 here is a wine of immense presence, structure, classicism, with a slight hedonistic character. The flavours lean toward the fuller side of the spectrum, with flavours of marzipan, orange peel and fresh cut marmalade, with a hint of honey. But there is terrific zip on entry, incredible minerality; any weight to this wine is lean, muscular and structured, possessing deft acidity, a lovely herbaceous quality (think tomato vine) and a finish to die for. I’ve immediately bought four bottles of this back home and can’t wait to enjoy it again. — a month ago

Vibrant, racy, tight. Needs a yr or two but delicious after 2 hrs. — 4 months ago

Somewhat riper than expected but still fresh and racy, crystalline acidity with tropical fruit, honeysuckle, bruised apple, petrol and cheese rind notes adding interest. And the color is stunning — a month ago

Nose: white flowers.

Palate: almost grunery. Wooly? Good fruit. Mineral. Well made.

2013 vintage. Decanted (throwing a small amount of sed) and tasted after 45 mins and 1.5 hours. Medium-heavy body. Nose had the requisite and desired "funk." Amongst my handful of all-time best Sonoma Cabs/BDX blends (unfortunately, all too short after 32 years of extensive sampling). Phenomenal punch and acceleration. Shredding with impunity. Occasionally, that eff you ca$hi$h pays off. 7.19.24. — 4 months ago
