Domaine Billaud-Simon is a Burgundy wine producer located in Chablis. The domaine has been growing Chardonnay in the region since 1815 and is known for producing some of the best examples of Chablis from grand and premier cru sites. Billaud-Simon owns some 17 hectares (42 acres) of vineyard land on Chablis' unique Kimmeridgian soil – the famously ancient soil composed of marine sediment, algae, and shells. The domaine's land includes portions of four grand crus: Les Clos, Vaudésir, Les Preuses and Les Blanchots. Billaud-Simon also has land in four premier crus: Montée de Tonnerre, Fourchaume, Mont de Milieu and Les Vaillons. On top of this, Billaud-Simon also makes Petit Chablis and Chablis AOC wines from vines averaging 50 years old.
