Billaud-Simon Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru 2022

White
Chablis, France
6.3
WineSaint

Honeyed fruit suggests riper picking, but the wine feels loose and lacks Chablis' signature tension. Stone and chalk emerge gradually, though the finish trails off without the precision this premier cru site typically delivers. Decent overall, but missing the electric minerality that defines great Vaillons.
