{"product_id":"2023-samuel-billaud-bourgogne-dor","title":"2023 Samuel Billaud Bourgogne D'Or","description":"\u003cp\u003eGetting Samuel Billaud’s name on a bottle at this price is a massive win for anyone who follows Chablis. Since he went solo and set up his own operation in 2009, Samuel has shot into the region's top tier - his name and his wines spoken in the same breath as legends like Raveneau and Dauvissat. He’s a grower who doesn’t know how to do \"entry-level\" without obsessive attention to detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere is the entry point into his style. By sourcing fruit from Auxerre and the Mâconnais, Samuel has turned out a Chardonnay that balances that classic, chalky tension, the thumbprint of his wines all the way up to Grand Cru, with a touch of sun-drenched flesh. It’s handled entirely in stainless steel, so the focus stays squarely on the fruit rather than any oak influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s bright and focused, leading with crunchy green apple and a sharp citrus. There’s a lovely, fine texture here that separates it from other 'entry-level' white Burgundy. It’s sophisticated and incredibly fresh. If you want a look at why Billaud is one of the most respected names in Chablis, this is a brilliant place to start. Excellent value for a wine with this much pedigree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"An attractively floral nose speaks of pear liqueur and enough Chablis character to be persuasive. The delicious, succulent and rounded middleweight flavours possess unusually good volume for a wine at this level allied with fine punch that carries over to\u003cbr\u003ethe refreshingly dry finish. This offers solid quality for its level in a package that should afford early drinkability.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Allen Meadows (Burghound)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Samuel Billaud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44494795046955,"sku":"2023 Samuel Billaud Bourgogne D'Or","price":79.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2023SamuelBillaudBourgogneD_Or.png?v=1786587304","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2023-samuel-billaud-bourgogne-dor","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
