"Blanchot Vieilles Vignes: (100% vinified in wood; Billaud is of the belief that Blanchot is the most mineral-dominated cru in Chablis, indeed so much so that it can be a brutal and violent wine that must be "tamed" by the wood, hence the different vinification philosophy; the Billaud vines directly abut Les Clos).
