What do Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC), Domaine G. Roumier, Newton Johnson, and By Farr have in common? They’ve all shaped the winemaking of Louis Billard - one of the most exciting new names in Burgundy.
Louis spent 2018 and 2019 at DRC, working with the absolute best in Vosne-Romanée, the most legendary Pinot Noir village in the world. He followed that with stints at Roumier in Chambolle-Musigny (2020), Newton Johnson in South Africa (2021), and By Farr in Australia (2022). In other words, he’s learned from the greatest winemakers across three continents, and now, he’s bringing that expertise back home.
The 2023 Louis Billard Saint-Aubin Premier Cru "Les Castets" Chardonnay is a brilliant example of his talent, delivering classic Côte-de-Beaune richness - ripe stone fruit, toasted brioche, creamy texture - balanced by precise acidity and mineral drive.
A future icon in the making, Louis Billard is a name to watch (and a wine to collect).
