Why choose Billecart Salmon Blanc de Blancs?

The style of this cuvée relies on a rigorous selection of chardonnays from prestigious villages of Champagne. This meticulous work results in a sparkling wine that is both lively, subtle, and complex.

In appearance, the wine reveals a brilliant pale gold hue. Fine bubbles form a delicate and persistent cord. From the first moments, the nose captivates with its aromatic finesse. Notes of fresh citrus, white flowers, and white-fleshed fruits dominate the ensemble.

On the palate, the texture remains precise and airy. A beautiful mineral tension perfectly balances the wine's volume. The saline finish provides a lingering sensation of freshness, particularly sought after in great blanc de blancs champagnes.

The secrets of a great terroir champagne

Blanc de blancs is an emblematic style in Champagne. Produced exclusively from chardonnay, it highlights the elegance, liveliness, and aging potential of the grape variety.

The house Billecart-Salmon prioritizes grapes from carefully selected plots. The limestone soils of the Côte des Blancs offer a characteristic minerality that contributes to the tasting signature of this cuvée.

The winemaking is based on a constant search for balance. Fermentation temperatures are precisely controlled to preserve aromatic freshness. Prolonged aging on lees then enriches the wine's profile with more complex nuances.
