2021 | Domaine Billard Pere et Fils | Hautes-Côtes de Beaune La Justice

Domaine Billard Père et Fils is back with another great white Burgundy. The 2021 vintage La Justice is, like the previous bottlings, made entirely with Chardonnay grapes from the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune region, which are fermented in oak. This is a fairly savoury wine, with stony mineral notes, and a good dose of citrus to round it out.

Producer Information

Domaine Billard has approximately 26 hectares of vineyards in different appellations throughout the Cotes de Beaune. Their largest holdings are in the Hautes Cotes de Beaune with other small plots located in Saint Aubin 1er Cru, Saint Romain, Auxey Duresses, Beaune, Beaune 1er Cru, Chassagne-Montrachet, Santenay, and Pommard.When the domaine passed from father to son, Jérôme Billard brought a new philosophy with him. The farming practices changed to eliminate chemicals, rebalance the soils and follow the principles of organic farming. Jerome hired a specialist to work a few of their vineyards with a horse, and in 2019, after seeing the results, the Billards purchased their own horse, which enabled them to expand the number of vineyards they work without a tractor.Yields are kept low by severe pruning and the use of cover crops. The vines are harvested by hand and Jérôme likes to harvest on the “late side,” to give good concentration to his wines. Fermentations utilize indigenous yeasts and a modest amount of SO2 is added before bottling.
