Tasting Notes
"Essentially brut reserve with more time in the cellar and no dosage, this is based on 2012. There's a slight reductive edge, with some apple, honey and lemon as well as subtly spicy elements, red apple and berry aromas. The palate has attractive bold fruit flavor and an assertive crunchy finish. Drink now."

The Producer
Billecart-Salmon
The champagnes of Maison Billecart-Salmon originate from an area totaling 300 hectares across 40 crus of the Champagne region. The majority of the grapes used for vinification come from a radius of 20km around Epernay, where the Grand Crus of Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay co-exist in the ethereal vineyards of the Montagne de Reims, the Vallée de la Marne and the Côte des Blancs.
It all started in 1818 when Nicolas François Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon married, marking the creation of their Champagne House. Over 7 generations have continued the family tradition.
The Maison Billecart-Salmon philosophy is exemplified by The Clos Saint-Hilaire - a single parcel where the vines, soil and subsoil are carefully tended with respect for the environment. Several years ago, Billecart-Salmon decided to return to ancestral champagne-making methods in the Clos Saint-Hilaire by using work horses and sheep. This method of maintaining the soil and tending the vines increases porosity and biodiversity. The roots grow deep and the minerals they draw from the soil foster the growth of smaller, more concentrated grapes, revealing the terroir's typical flavour.
