Critic reviews
"Samuel Billaud’s 2024 Chablis Village opens in the glass with notes of orange peel, beeswax and pastry. The medium-bodied palate is racy and incisive, concluding with a long, chalky finish."
Kristaps Karklins, January 2026, RobertParker.com
"The 2024 Chablis Grands Terroirs comes from Les Pargues, Bas Chapelot and Fontenot, cropped at 20 hl/ha. Billaud was pleased that there was no botrytis this year. It has a fragrant nose with yellow plum, fern and light crushed stone scents emerging with time. The palate is fresh on the entry with a bright spine of acidity. Candied orange peel and citrus lemon bounce around on the zingy finish. There's great energy here. This is a well-made and delicious Chablis."
Neal Martin, June 2025, Vinous.com
"Pure, precise and driven, with mineral and crystalline aromas. Very clean, transparent and modern, with medium body and a slightly mineral and peachy finish. Tank sample. Some CO2 at this stage trims it down. Quite acid-driven finish with salinity. Will be bottled in June. Drink from 2027."
Zekun Shuai, May 2026, JamesSuckling.com
"(from several fine villages-level vineyards that include Cartes-Fontenottes, Les Pargues and Bas de Chapelot). A slightly riper, if otherwise similar nose precedes bigger-bodied flavors that also possess excellent punch and detail while exuding evident minerality on the dry, balanced and lingering finale that is just a bit more complex. This too is excellent for its level and very much worth checking out."

"Open like the Petit Chablis, with a similar fruit profile but a little deeper and firmer. Tight, linear but not lean. A little creamier than the Petit Chablis, both in aroma and flavour, less stony-mineral, more rounded on the long finish. Moves from crisp to creamy in a smooth transition. Impressive concentration and length. "
Julia Harding, August 2025, JancisRobinson.com
"Demonstrates a mastery of the difficult 2024 vintage with its charming aromas of citrus fruit and fresh white flowers, accented by chalky minerality. The texture balances fresh acidity with enough richness and concentration to satisfy Chablis lovers. The grapes are from both vineyards that Samuel Billaud owns and those he sources from left-bank sites including Pargues – near Préhy – and the cooler back of the Montmain slope in the lieux-dits of Fontenottes and Les Cartes, and grapes from lieu-dit Chapelot on the right bank."
Charles Curtis, September 2025, Decanter.com
"Made from the usual three locations. 25 hl/ha on average. A little bready yeast note on the nose along with its more classical components. Wonderful tension behind. The “they don’t make Chablis like they used to” grumblers should be satisfied. Crisp citrus notes infuse the finish. Drink from 2027-2030."

"Stony, precise and mineral with nice intensity of limey fruit. Really vivid with nice acidity. Chiselled."
