Domaine Billaud-Simon was founded by Charles Louis Noël Billaud in 1815 at the end of the Napoleonic Wars when he returned to his home in Chablis. He decided to plant the first vines shortly after his return with the help of his family’s holdings. The Domaine acquired more vineyards in the 1930’s with the marriage of his descendant Jean Billaud to Renée Simon. Jean managed the Domaine alongside his Father in Law Jules Simon. Eventually Jean Billaud’s son, Bernard, took over the Family estate and ran it until its acquisition by the famous Burgundian Faiveley family in 2014.

Today Domaine Billaud Simon is managed independently from Domaine Faiveley with its own winemaking facilities, and team. They strive to continually improve quality, while preserving the same style of wines.
