Wine Spectator
“A well-tailored Champagne, with precision to the integration of its chiseled acidity, fine, lacy texture and lovely range of patisserie apple and pear, lemon parfait, pickled ginger and white blossoms. A hint of marzipan enriches the lasting finish. Disgorged Spring 2024. Drink now through 2030.”
Highlights
Billecart-Salmon Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Champagne 1.5 Liter Magnum
This cuvée was named in tribute to Louis, Elisabeth Salmon’s brother, who was passionate about enology and highly involved in winemaking from the earliest creation of the House. Originating from the best parcels of the Côte des Blancs, the Blanc de Blancs vintage is endowed with purity and minerality.
Crystal clear pale gold color with delicate glints marked by a nuanced patina of yellow and green. A persistent and fascinating effervescence, brimming with light. The first expression is signed by an elegant, perfect and complex maturity, yellow fruits and citrus (candied mandarin, limoncello, conference pear). An aromatic
profile of a sophisticated purity and a chalky, balanced, and crystalline character (cedar and raw butter). A creamy sensation in the mouth with beautifully chiseled finesse. Lovely refreshing balance with natural flavors (zest of citron, almond biscuit and white pepper). This powerful wine with a majestic typicity prolongs its finish towards an aromatic persistence of incredible length (flesh of sweet citrus fruits, cardamom and vanilla-flavored cream puffs). The unique dimension of a great Blanc de Blancs, is pure and intense, with a directness perfectly associated with its low dosage.
Its potential and its balance express a remarkable finesse worthy of the most sophisticated food pairings (a casserole of whole calf sweetbread, a creamy shellfish risotto).
