Billecart-Salmon : Cuvée Louis Salmon Blanc de Blancs 2013

A stunning expression that captures the purity of the Côte de Blancs. The nose is ripe and inviting, with orchard fruit framed by a yeasty backdrop, delicate sweet florals and a touch of honey. The palate adds fresh peach, toasted-yeasty notes, a hint of iodine, white pepper and white rose, all delivered with precision and linearity. Finely structured and poised, this holds long-term aging potential.

The 2013 Brut Blancs de Blancs Louis Salmon is an exceptional follow-up to the 2012. Naturally, the 2013 offers a bit more tension, cut and drive, all signatures of this late-ripening vintage. Chalk, slate, crushed rocks, citrus confit and hazelnut all race across the palate as the 2013 sizzles with tension from start to finish. This is still a baby. Give it time. Dosage is 4 grams per liter. Disgorged: January 2024.
