Billecart Salmon Sous Bois Brut Champagne

Fermented in wood with a touch of spice and toast on the palate, this Champagne is beautifully textured and structured. The Chardonnay gives the wine a steely edge that suggests the bottling could age, so wait to drink this very fine wine from 2023. 94 Points,Wine Enthusiast, December 2022

The nose shows a broad interpretation of Billecart’s house style with aromas of cream, toffee, stone fruits, lemon pastry and lime zest. The palate has presence but a lovely zippy acidity with flavors of chalk, toast, stone fruits and light oak spice. D&M Tasting Notes

Today Billecart Salmon is the oldest continuously family-owned and operated house in Champagne and Matthieu Roland-Billecart, who represents the seventh generation has recently begun working with his father and uncle. We have been following the Billecart’s progress with the Sous Bois project for a number of years and feel that this is one of the more distinctive multi-vintage cuvees that they produce. We first brought you this cuvee in December 2013 and have been quite happy with the evolution of this oak barrel aged cuvee since. Michael Kennel, D&M
