Maison Billecart-Salmon, Blanc De Blancs Grand Cru, Nv

Refined and pure on the nose, opening with aromas of white flowers, lemon zest, and green apple, layered with chalky minerality and hints of toasted almond and fresh brioche. On the palate, it is taut and linear, yet creamy in texture—a signature of Billecart-Salmon’s restrained and polished style. Citrus fruits, white peach, and crisp pear lead the flavour profile, complemented by a saline edge and a touch of hazelnut. The mousse is fine and energetic, supporting a long, elegant finish marked by tension and precision.

This is a Blanc de Blancs of quiet power and sophistication, equally suited to thoughtful sipping or pairing with oysters, scallop crudo, or aged Comté.

Maison Billecart-Salmon, established in 1818 in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, remains one of the few family-owned Champagne houses. Renowned for its meticulous, low-temperature fermentations and precise, elegant style, Billecart-Salmon has built a reputation for crafting Champagnes of purity, finesse, and longevity.

The Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru NV is a testament to the house's mastery of Chardonnay, sourced exclusively from prestigious Grand Cru villages such as Avize, Cramant, Chouilly, and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger—each contributing to the wine’s complexity and mineral backbone.
