Billecart-Salmon Sous Bois NV – Champagne Gallery
Captivating, Original, and Authentically Complex
Billecart-Salmon Sous Bois NV is a masterful cuvée entirely vinified in oak, reviving Champagne’s traditional craftsmanship with an elegant twist. Composed of all three classic varietals—Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Meunier—this wine blends heritage with innovation, delivering rich textures and layered complexity. The name ‘Sous Bois’ (French for ‘under wood’) is a tribute to the ancestral methods of fermenting and ageing in oak barrels.
