Vaudésir is one of the most graceful of Chablis’ Grand Cru vineyards, forming a natural amphitheatre that captures gentle morning sunlight while preserving freshness and tension. Its Kimmeridgian limestone soils, rich with fossilised marine fossils, lend the wine its hallmark chalky minerality and saline precision. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2023 growing season delivered beautifully balanced fruit, combining ripeness with vibrant acidity and crystalline clarity. Samuel Billaud’s meticulous vineyard management and restrained cellar work allow the terroir to take centre stage, with fermentation and ageing handled to maintain purity rather than impose weight. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, the wine shows luminous citrus, white peach and crushed oyster shell layered over a finely structured core. Vaudésir is known for its silkiness among the Grand Crus, and this vintage captures that quality with seamless texture and poise. Beneath its immediate elegance lies notable depth and ageing potential, supported by a firm mineral spine and energetic acidity. It is a Grand Cru of finesse and composure, ideal alongside lobster, scallops or refined seafood dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Floral and mineral\u003cbr\u003eAromas of lemon zest, green apple and white peach intertwined with oyster shell, chalk dust and delicate white blossom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Silky and precise\u003cbr\u003eLayered citrus and orchard fruit supported by bright acidity, a creamy yet weightless texture and pronounced limestone minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long and saline\u003cbr\u003eA persistent, mouth-watering finish marked by citrus oil, wet stone and lingering maritime salinity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Offering aromas of citrus oil, pear, white flowers and oyster shell, the wine is full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, with lively acids and a long, saline finish.”\u003c\/em\u003e — William Kelley, Wine Advocate, 94–96 points \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“A particularly refined Vaudésir, showing both charm and structure, with layered fruit, fine mineral tension and impressive persistence.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Allen Meadows, Burghound, 93–95 points\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Beautifully balanced and poised, with pure fruit, chalky minerality and a lingering, elegant finish that will reward patience.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy, 94 points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStyle – White Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal – Chardonnay\u003cbr\u003eCountry – France\u003cbr\u003eRegion – Chablis Grand Cru, Burgundy\u003cbr\u003eVineyard – Vaudésir\u003cbr\u003eVintage – 2023\u003cbr\u003eBottle Size – 750ml\u003cbr\u003eABV – 13%\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Samuel Billaud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42568531574871,"sku":"DSAMB-VAUD-23","price":399.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/a10ef92f-afca-4758-abb3-9e4ad939054b.jpg?v=1772067439","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/domaine-samuel-billaud-chablis-grand-cru-vaudesir-2023","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
