About the Wine

Maison Billecart-Salmon is an ode to Champagne. This family legacy began with Nicolas François Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon more than 200 years ago. Today - and 7 generations later - this Maison continues to shine for its superb quality wines.

In addition to the 240 acres of Billecart-Salmon’s vineyard, this Maison sources grape from some of the best 40-crus vineyards in the Champagne region. Billecart-Salmon's vineyards are managed with environmentally responsible practices, using ancestral winemaking methods; the extreme care that they put into the vineyard is reflected in every bottle, resulting in elegant wines that are faithful to the perfect and sought-after Champagne’s terroir.

Every corner of the Maison is perfectly designed and suited to the operation of the traditional Champenoise method, the vinification process is guided by no one else than French renowned winemakers, Denis Blée and Florent Nys. 

This is typical Billecart, delicate and precise, the cuvée is a blend of two different years revealing the special quality of the Chardonnay.

100% Chardonnay Grands Crus de villages de la Côte des Blancs : Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Mesnil-sur-Oger with Vinification in stainless steel tanks.

Razer sharp effervescence dances in the light of a lurid gold hue with glimmers of apple green. chalky yet still a creamy texture on the palate, complemented by citrus and fresh almonds. There's a tight mineral backbone intertwined with notes of toast, butter and citrus fruits. Superbly finessed in its style, perfect matched with cured fish or fresh oysters.  

Tasting Notes: 100% Chardonnay. A true delight, this emblematic Blanc de Blancs is wonderfully aromatic. With a lovely pale hue and a nose of white flowers and linden, it is delicate, mineral, and superbly fresh on the palate.

Reviews

From Grand Cru villages on the Côte des Blancs, this Champagne is beautifully mineral and taut. It has white fruits and intense citrus giving texture and crispness. This is a fine wine, ready to drink. ~94 Wine Enthusiast

Pale yellow with silver reflections. Green apple on the nose, lemon, subtle nutty and biscuit-like notes, some nougat. Citrus-fresh on the palate with fine, elegant mousse, ripe acidity, fruit and honey notes. Long finish with a salty impression. ~94 Falstaff

Rapier like acidity defines this lip-smacking version, with rich notes of grilled nut, melon and apricot fruit, grated ginger and lemon curd gaining momentum. It's sleek and racy, with a lively mousse and a long, mineral-tinged finish. ~92 Wine Spectator
