Samuel Billaud

Coming Up

Chablis shaped the early work at Domaine Billaud-Simon in Chablis, Burgundy, France, where Samuel Billaud worked as winemaker until 2009. The job demanded patient attention to a region that does not reward shortcuts: shifting climate, mineral soils, and vines that ask for observation more than force. That discipline carried into Domaine Samuel Billaud, which he has run since 2009 as owner and winemaker in Chablis, Burgundy, France.

Where They Are Now

Chablis wines remain the center of Samuel Billaud’s work at Domaine Samuel Billaud in Chablis, Burgundy, France, where he has served as owner and winemaker since 2009. The link between cellar and vineyard is direct here, and his long familiarity with the climate, soils, and vines gives the work its confidence. The throughline is continuity: a career built in the same place, with deeper precision rather than broader distance.
