Log in / Sign up Billecart-Salmon Blanc de Blanc Millesime Louis Salmon 2008
This cuvée was named in tribute to Louis, Elisabeth Salmon’s brother, who was passionate about oenology and highly involved in winemaking from the earliest creation of the House. Originating from the best parcels of the Côte des Blancs, the Blanc de Blancs vintage is endowed with purity and minerality.
Creamy shellfish risotto
The first expression is signed by an elegant, perfect, and complex maturity, yellow fruits and citrus (candied mandarin, limoncello, conference pear). An aromatic profile of sophisticated purity and a chalky, balanced, and crystalline character (cedar and raw butter).
A creamy sensation in the mouth with beautifully chiselled finesse. Lovely refreshing balance with natural flavours (zest of citron, almond biscuit, and white pepper). This powerful wine with a majestic typicity prolongs its finish towards an aromatic persistence of incredible length (flesh of sweet citrus fruits, cardamom, and vanilla-flavoured cream puffs). 33% of the wines are vinified at low temperatures in oak casks that are 15 years old on average, Dosage: 7g/l Maturation on lees/in the cellar: 11 years
