The strikingly textured medium-bodied flavors also brim with sappy dry extract while displaying focused power on the equally compact, youthfully austere and lingering finish. This is very classy, and overall, this beautifully persistent effort is definitely going to need time in bottle because as noted, it's quite compact. I would add that this is one of the best wines of the 2023 vintage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c!-- Critic Review 2 --\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e92-94 Points ★★★★☆ - Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Preuses plot, on granular red soil, was planted 1949, and is still in great health. 52 hl\/ha. 25% wood. Pale lemon with a green tint, slightly buttery nose in unexpected contrast. Perhaps it is the cashmere overcoat. There remains a slightly oily texture, which will pass, then the fruit continues into a clean tight finish. Drink from 2029-2036.

Billaud-Simon’s tiny 0.41-hectare plot features ancient vines planted way back in 1952. These deep-rooted vines pierce straight through thin clay topsoils into dense Kimmeridgian limestone strata, infusing the grapes with a unique marine complexity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c!-- Vineyard Bullet 2 --\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlawless Low-Intervention Elevage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Under the brilliant stewardship of winemaker Olivier Bailly and the Faiveley group, this small-batch cuvée is raised to preserve maximum vineyard typicity. The old-vine fruit is aged in a precise split of stainless steel tanks and a small, 25% fraction of older neutral French oak barrels. This masterful balance builds a super-sleek, mouth-coating texture without introducing heavy oak flavors, letting the site’s classic oyster-shell line shine bright.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- HIGHLIGHTS --\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 30px; padding-left: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003e100% Chardonnay estate-bottled from a prized 0.41-hectare parcel of historic old vines planted in 1952.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eShowcases a pristine, airy profile that trades heavy, broad power for high-toned floral silk and intense saline length.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- TASTING NOTES --\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7; list-style: none; padding-left: 0; margin-bottom: 30px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brilliant, shimmering straw-gold core with pale silver-green flashes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cool, breezy, and incredibly floating.
