    Description

    95/100 pts VINOUS : " The significant improvement in quality at Billecart-Salmon is no longer news, but it still deserves to be mentioned. Indeed, the champagnes from this house have never been so good! – Antonio Galloni

    All the expertise of Maison Billecart-Salmon is showcased in this exceptional cuvée: Fermented at low temperatures and entirely vinified in oak barrels, Le Sous Bois blends grapes from vast areas of the Montagne de Reims, the Vallée de la Marne, and the Côte des Blancs (including Oger, Chouilly, and Cramant). Disgorged with a dosage of five grams per liter in the spring of 2023, after five years of aging on the lees.

    Notes and pairings

    Tasting notes

    Billecart-Salmon Brut Sous Bois pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as fine fish in sauce, pan-seared scallops, or roast poultry. It also enhances a selection of mature cheeses, particularly Comté or Parmesan. Serve this champagne at an ideal temperature of 10 to 12°C to fully appreciate its nuances.

    Owner and history

    The Billecart-Salmon vineyards extend over nearly 100 hectares, from the Côte des Blancs to the Montagne de Reims. The vines are cultivated using traditional methods to guarantee authentic fruit and reflect the exceptional quality of the Champagne terroir.

    Vinification and aging

    Billecart-Salmon's Brut sous Bois champagne is made with 30 to 35% reserve wines, adding complexity. Its maturation on lees for 6 to 7 years, combined with a dosage of 7 g/l, gives this wine great finesse and aromatic richness.
