Details

The name 'Mont de Milieu' makes reference to the defining characteristic of this hillside which previously marked a boundary between two points. On one side was the Chablis constituency (an area across which a Lord or town had the right to jurisdication), at the time in the Champagne constituency, and on the other side was the Fleys constituency which fell under the Duchy of Burgundy.

Bernard Billaud sold his estate to Domaine Faiveley of Nuits St Georges in 2014. Billaud-Simon has long been the source of excellent, reliable, and hugely enjoyable Chablis, and continues to be so under Faiveley's ownership. Its new owners have been renovating the charming château and have installed Savigny lès Beaune-born Olivier Bailly as régisseur. He is gradually implementing small but pre- cise changes in the winemaking style: tuning down the oak, particularly in the grands crus, and using innovative stainless steel barrels alongside traditional oak barrels. These allow him to vinify in the small volumes he likes, with the lees contact of traditional barrels but without any of the adorning oak flavouring, nor the oxidative élevage.
