Billecart Salmon Vintage

Billecart-Salmon began in 1818 when Nicolas François Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon married, marking the creation of their Champagne House. A family story since the beginning, over seven generations, each member of the family has endeavoured to continue tradition, staying faithful to the same motto: "Give priority to quality, strive for excellence.”

The wines are vinified at low temperatures to give the signature of the Billecart-Salmon style, delicate aromas and purity of fruit, and dosage always tends to lean on the lower side.

This vintage sees most of the fruit coming from Grands cru and Premiers cru vineyards. Characteristically, it’s more Pinot Noir led, with Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier being the supporting stars.

Aged on its lees for 89 months, Billecart-Salmon Vintage displays a deliciously fruity intensity with elegant notes of nuts and stone fruits, developing into aromas of baked goods (buttery pastry, lemon cream).

A charming mouthfeel with structure and tension, flavours of blueberry and cherry clafoutis creep in, intensified by the delicate, creamy texture of a slow second fermentation.
