2012 Billecart-Salmon "Louis Salmon" Blanc de Blancs
Billecart-Salmon is recognized for its commitment to blending traditional methods with modern techniques. The company’s philosophy centers around respecting the heritage of Champagne while continually striving for excellence, which has helped the brand maintain a prestigious status among Champagne connoisseurs and collectors. The Louis Salmon Blanc de Blancs is a specific cuvée released as part of the house's premium line. It's made exclusively from Chardonnay, a variety that is highly regarded for its finesse and complexity in Champagne production. "Blanc de Blancs" literally means "white from whites," indicating that it is made solely from white grape varieties (in this case, Chardonnay). The "Louis Salmon" designation is a tribute to the founder's wife, Elisabeth Salmon, and reflects the family’s historical ties to the region. The 2012 Billecart-Salmon "Louis Salmon" Blanc de Blancs was likely crafted with the same meticulous care and focus on balance and freshness that characterize the house's other cuvées. Since this wine is a Blanc de Blancs, you can expect it to be vibrant and precise, with flavors and aromas of citrus, green apple, and brioche. The use of Chardonnay lends itself to a fine minerality, and extended aging on the lees often imparts subtle notes of toast and almond. With the 2012 vintage being a great year in Champagne, this wine would likely showcase a wonderful balance between freshness and complexity.
