Description

The minerality and aromatic expression of a vintage Blanc de Blancs Champagne

The producer

Since its creation in 1818 by the married couple, Elisabeth Salmon and Nicolas-François Billecart, the Billecart-Salmon Champagne House has remained independent, having preserved all of its know-how and demand for high-quality cuvées for 7 generations.

The vineyard

The Billecart-Salmon vineyard covers 100 hectares from Côte des Blancs to the Reims mountain. The vines are cultivated and cared for in a traditional manner so that the wine resembles real fruit and to reflect the quality of the Champagne terroir.

The wine

Made from the finest terroirs of 3 Grands Crus in the Côte des Blancs (Chouilly, Mesnil-sur-Oger, Cramant), this Cuvée Louis Salmon Blanc de Blancs pays tribute to Elisabeth Salmon's brother. According to research carried out by a passionate historian at the request of the estate, archives have established that Louis Salmon would have contributed to the elaboration of the house’s first cuvées.

Vinification and ageing

Billecart-Salmon's 2006 Cuvée Louis Salmon Blanc de Blancs was aged on lees for a period of 9 to 10 years.

The blend

Chardonnay (100%).
