November 16, 2023 - Perfect tonight w/ Rainbow Trout. This producer has spotty issues w/ premox but this btl was 110% fresh and in the pocket. Pale green gold color with all the Chablis signatures for minerality, salinity, citrus and stone fruit. I haven't bought any addl Billaud Simon since the 2017 vintage. Hopefully they have switched to the Diam cork by now? This btl was great! Fingers crossed on my remaining btls.

Any issues with premature oxidation from prior vintages are during the era when Samuel Billaud produced wine for the family Domaine. Samuel Billaud now produces wines under his own label.
