Billecart-Salmon Vintage 2016

Aroma of deliciously fruity intensity with elegant notes of nuts and stone fruits, prolonged and nuanced development of exquisite notes of baked goods (crepe dough and puffed cereals). In the mouthfeel there’s notes of fresh pineapple and sudachi zest, amplified by a creamy and delicate texture. A persistent finish with a chiseled structure. A noble and distinctive vintage with excellent depth.

A blend of 66% Pinot Noir and 34% Chardonnay from the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs fruit from 100% Grand 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 5 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.
