This domaine has a long and storied history: an ancient parchment order book still in the family’s possession shows a number of prestigious customers in Paris in the 18th Century, among them a sale , in 1774, of 10 barrels to Marquis Turgot, Louis XVI’s Finance Minister. Today, they produce around 6,000 cases annually from their 5.26 hectares. The soil is composed of sandstone pebbles underlying granite outcroppings at a depth of 50cm to 1 meter and beneath that, layers of clay. Farming is very traditional and natural, with no use of herbicides. The soil is regularly ploughed to develop the biodiversity: the Domaine des Billards is today a paradise for worms and beetles! The traditional winemaking process lasts between 12 to 15 days and the use of a weighted grill to keep the “crust” submerged in the fermenting juices leads to a more effective extraction of tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"B Wines","offers":[{"title":"750mL \/ 6 \/ 2017","offer_id":45611667914948,"sku":"639089","price":298.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/3538\/5028\/files\/domaine-des-billards-saint-amour-reserve-caveau-clos-vieilles-vignes-369.webp?v=1766028904","url":"https:\/\/www.grandwinecellar.com\/products\/domaine-des-billards-saint-amour-reserve-caveau-clos-des-billards-vieilles-vignes","provider":"Grand Wine Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
