Billecart-Salmon : Le Clos Saint-Hilaire 2007

From the one-hectare plot of old Pinot Noir vines planted in 1964 effectively in the back yard of the Billecart-Salmon HQ in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ. Officially certified organic in 2022 and biodynamically farmed since spring 2023. The Blanc de Noirs was vinified in oak casks aged between 15 and 20 years. Very pale amber. Extremely fine bead. Nose of minerals and very ripe, rounded greengage fruit. Already a well-knit wine, even if the finish isn’t the most ample, but this is likely to be the finest 2007 Blanc de Noirs you’ll encounter.
