Billecart-Salmon Cuvée Louis Blanc de Blancs Millesime 2008 – Champagne Gallery
Purity, Precision, and Mineral Elegance
Crafted as a tribute to Louis Salmon—brother of co-founder Elisabeth Salmon and an early pioneer of the house’s winemaking philosophy—this exceptional Blanc de Blancs cuvée embodies the finesse and purity of the Côte des Blancs. Made exclusively from 100% Grand Cru Chardonnay from Chouilly, Cramant, Mesnil-sur-Oger, and Avize, the 2008 vintage showcases the full brilliance of its terroir with crystalline intensity and remarkable ageing potential.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Pale golden hue with hints of green and a persistent, elegant effervescence.
Aroma: Refined aromas of candied mandarin, pear, and citrus, layered with cedar, limoncello, and creamy hints of raw butter.
Palate: A harmonious and finely chiselled texture with flavours of citron zest, almond biscuit, and white pepper. The long finish brings notes of citrus flesh, cardamom, and delicate vanilla cream.
