Overview:
The Billecart-Salmon 2009 Cuvée Louis Salmon Brut Blanc de Blancs pays homage to Louis Salmon, Elisabeth’s brother and a key figure in the House’s early winemaking efforts. This extraordinary cuvée is crafted from the finest parcels of the Côte des Blancs, known for its exceptional purity and minerality. A blend of 58% Cramant, 21% Chouilly, and 21% Mesnil-sur-Oger, it showcases the finest expression of Chardonnay, marrying finesse, structure, and longevity. The Champagne undergoes vinification in stainless steel tanks with minimal dosage (3.75g/l) and is matured on lees for an extended 144 months, developing remarkable texture and complexity.
