Description
The House focuses on small vineyard holdings that they supplement with Vallee de la Marne and Montagne de Reims fruit. The family controls the entire fermentation and production, Billecart is considered to be one of the best producers of Blanc de Blanc (100% Chardonnay) in Champagne. The quest for "finesse, balance and elegance" has always guided the making of the Billecart-Salmon Champagnes. The Blanc de Blancs possesses vivid lemony notes along with pear, honeysuckle, and green apple characteristics. It has potential to last for the next 5-8 years.
“The NV Blanc de Blancs (from vineyards in the Cote des Blancs) emerges with firm, chalky notes that frame a highly individualistic expression of Chardonnay. The wine possesses striking depth and clarity, along with a graceful, elegant finish. This is another very strong effort from Billecart-Salmon” - Wine Advocate.
