In the 1920s, Claude ROSSIGNOL acquired Domaine BILLARD, located in Volnay. His vineyards covered the Monthélie, Volnay and Volnay 1er cru appellations. In 1980, Alain BILLARD (his grandson) took over the family estate. Thanks to him, the estate's vineyards now extend as far as Meursault and Beaune.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Should I wait before opening this 2021 Santenay?

The estate seeks to make fruity wines that are easy to enjoy in their youth, so there is no need to wait to discover this cuvée. However, no specific aging period is indicated for this 2021.

Is this wine suitable if I prefer light-bodied reds to powerful wines?

Yes, the description specifically highlights its great fluidity and its generous, fruity character. This profile, rather than a search for power, can guide your choice.

What occasion would be a good time to choose this cuvée?

Its fluid, generous character makes it well suited to a convivial occasion when you simply want to enjoy a red wine driven by fruit. The estate prioritizes wines that are easy to drink in their youth, so there is no need to wait for a special occasion to open it.

Does natural winemaking mean that this Santenay is sulfite-free?

The description states that the wine is made as naturally as possible, using indigenous yeasts. This does not allow us to claim that the wine is sulfite-free or to attribute any particular certification to it.

What can be compared with Hubert Lamy’s 2023 Santenay 1er Cru Clos des Gravières?

Le Billard 2021 is a village-level Santenay, while Hubert Lamy’s 2023 Clos des Gravières is a premier cru. Le Billard’s fluid, fruity profile is documented here, but there is no tasting note for the Lamy that would allow a comparison of their power, complexity, or development.
