Description

A brilliant, linear champagne with beautiful citrus purity . The lemon notes are concentrated, with a subtle toast and a hint of cherry on the finish. It's a refined champagne, sculpted by invigorating acidity. Beautifully balanced with a fresh finish, it's a superb wine!

Made exclusively from Grands Crus from the iconic terroirs of the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs.

93/100 pts DECANTER “At its peak from mid-2024, but it already shows ripe clementine and juicy apricot fruit, warmed by ground walnuts and fragrant raspberries… This is the most impressive of Billecart’s recent vintages. Drink between 2024 and 2030. ” Tom Hewson

Owner and history

The grapes for this cuvée come from the finest vineyards in the Champagne region. Billecart-Salmon cultivates its vines using sustainable practices, promoting a natural balance between the soil and the vines. The chalky subsoil, characteristic of the Champagne terroir, plays a vital role in ensuring optimal drainage and imparting the wine's unique minerality.

Vinification and aging

Billecart-Salmon employs meticulous winemaking techniques, respecting the purity of the fruit and the expression of the terroir. Fermentation takes place at low temperatures to preserve the freshness of the aromas. After blending, the champagne rests for nearly 10 years on its lees in the house's historic cellars, guaranteeing unparalleled complexity and finesse.
