The Wine IndependentDescription
An exceptional champagne showcasing the finesse of chardonnay
The property
Since its creation in 1818 by the couple Elisabeth Salmon and Nicolas-François Billecart, the Champagne Billecart-Salmon House has remained independent, preserving for 7 generations the entirety of its know-how and the demand for the quality of its cuvées.
The vineyard
The vineyard of the Billecart-Salmon House extends from the Côte des Blancs to the Montagne de Reims over nearly 100 hectares. The vines are cultivated and cared for in a traditional way to approach an authentic fruit and reflect the quality of its Champagne terroir.
The wine
The aromatic relief of this grand cru is reflective of the exceptional terroir of the Côte des Blancs. The typicity of this limestone soil is found in the tasting through the alliance between power, freshness and minerality.
Vinification and aging
Maturation is carried out on lees for 4 to 5 years in the estate's cellars. The dosage is 8g/L
Blend
100% chardonnay.
