Billecart-Salmon Vintage 2009

An intense aroma of citrus, red apple, almonds, pastry and raw butter. On the palate the wine is energetic and beautifully structured, with notes of blueberries and shortbread coupled with a delicate texture and vibrant acidity.

A blend of 40% Pinot Noir, 33% Chardonnay, and 27% Pinot Meunier fruit from predominantly Grand Cru & Premier Cru villages. The cuvée is vinified in stainless-steel tanks, and is allowed to undergo partial malolactic fermentation. It is then aged on lees for a minimum of 9 years before disgorgement.

Based in the town of Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, Billecart-Salmon is one of the most renowned and highly regarded Champagne houses today. It all started in 1818 when Nicolas François Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon were married, marking the creation of their Champagne house. Since then there has been over 7 generations dedicated to bringing exceptional cuvées to the world, and the house remains family owned to this day.
