Magnum Champagne Louis Salmon Blanc de Blancs 2012 Billecart Salmon

Celebrating the legacy and passion for oenology of Louis Salmon, brother of Elisabeth Salmon and co-founder, the Magnum Champagne Louis Salmon Blanc de Blancs 2012 embodies the purest and most mineral expression of Chardonnay. Exclusively sourced from the elite plots of the Côte des Blancs, this 2012 vintage pays vibrant tribute to the family's expertise and commitment to excellence.

With a refined elegance, this champagne reveals the quintessence of Chardonnay. Each sip is a journey through the grand crus of the Côte des Blancs - Cramant and Chouilly for their finesse, Avize for its power, and Mesnil-sur-Oger for its structure and longevity - offering a model of incomparable harmony.

With its crystalline visual aspect, this Blanc de Blancs captivates with its pale gold color and delicate hints of yellow and green. The persistent and sparkling effervescence promises a dynamic and luminous tasting experience.

The finely hazelnut-floral elegance and chestnut bread mark the initial expression of this champagne, quickly joined by a balanced and crystalline chalky character, revealing notes of raw butter and pastry cream. A refined aromatic profile enveloped in an irresistible charm upon aeration.

In the mouth, the creamy tactile sensation of finely chiseled finesse is immediately apparent. A refreshing balance of natural flavors, such as almond paste and puff pastry, merges with the majestic typicality of the wine, extending its finish towards a remarkable aromatic persistence, enriched with cardamom and caviar lime.

This exceptional Blanc de Blancs, with extraordinary purity and intensity, finds its perfect balance with low dosage. With an ideal serving temperature of 10 to 12°C, it pairs divinely well with exceptional dishes such as veal sweetbreads from Corrèze en cocotte, Brittany abalones and samphire, revealing a finesse worthy of the greatest gastronomic pairings.

This Champagne Louis Salmon Blanc de Blancs 2012 is an ode to the greatness of Maison Billecart Salmon, offering a tasting experience that transcends time and terroir.
