Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Blanc 2020 – Domaine Billard Père Et Fils
£16.86
Fantastic aromas of ripe green fruit and minerals, with some creamy notes. On the palate this superb French wine is full bodied and balanced, classic white Beaune with some tropical fruit tones and elements of butter. Elegant, with good acidity.

The Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Blanc Domaine Billard Père Et Fils is 100% Chardonnay. The 3 hectare vineyard has the place name “lieu dit” of La Justice. The soil is very chalky and the land has good drainage and exposure. The grapes are fermented in barrel and then matured for 10 months “sur lie” before bottling. The resulting wine is rich and well structured but also quite elegant.
Domaine Billard has approximately 12.5 hectares of vineyards in different appellations throughout the Cotes de Beaune. Their largest holdings are in the Hautes Cotes de Beaune with other small plots located in Saint Romain, Saint Aubin 1er Cru, Auxey Duresses and Beaune. The domaine passed from father to son recently and Jérôme Billard has brought a new philosophy to his family domaine. Farming is done with respect for nature and follows the principles of organic farming. Yields are kept low through the use of cover crops and severe pruning and all the vines are harvested by hand. Only indigenous yeasts are used for the fermentation.
