Billecart-Salmon Le Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Champagne – pure elegance in a glass

If you’re looking for a champagne with razor-sharp precision, deep minerality and uncompromising elegance, Billecart-Salmon Le Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Extra Brut is an obvious choice. This exclusive cuvée is created for the discerning champagne lover who appreciates purity, finesse and a terroir-driven expression at the very top.

The champagne is made exclusively from 100% Chardonnay from four iconic Grand Cru villages in the Côte des Blancs: Avize, Chouilly, Cramant and Mesnil-sur-Oger. Here you’ll find some of Champagne’s most chalky soils, giving the wines their characteristic richness, freshness and elegant minerality.

The base wine is composed of two vintages and contains up to 50% reserve wine, ensuring both continuity and complexity. Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks to preserve the natural purity of the grape, and then the champagne is aged for 4-5 years on the lees. The extra-long maturation gives impressive depth, creamy texture and a refined mousse. The low Extra Brut dosage completes the expression and emphasizes the precise, dry and mineral style of the wine.

Tasting notes

Appearance: Brilliant golden color with green reflections and an ultra-fine, persistent mousse. The bubbles are elegant and lively.

Aroma: Clean and mineral nose with notes of fresh brioche, butter and white flowers. Elegant, focused and very typical of Côte des Blancs.

Taste: Velvety and creamy structure with a chalky texture. Flavor notes of fresh almonds, citrus zest and lemon notes lead to a long, refined finish with slightly salted minerality.
