Champagne, France
The 2009 Brut Blancs de Blancs Louis Salmon is a rich, heady wine. In 2009, Billecart-Salmon opted not to use lots aged in oak, which, along with partially blocked malolactic fermentation, helps explain the wine's freshness and verve. Lemon peel, white flowers, white pepper and chalk are all beautifully delineated. There's gorgeous density and power here, along with a good bit of vintage 2009 radiance. What a gorgeous Champagne this is. The Louis Salmon is a blend from Mesnil-sur-Oger, Chouilly and Cramant. Dosage is 3.75 grams per liter. Disgorged: second trimester 2022.

1 person found it helpfulJan 12th, 2025✨ A sparkling start to the weekend, trying to stay cool in the nearly 100 F heat.
🍾This is the 2009 Champagne Billecart-Salmon “Cuvée Louis Salmon” Brut Blanc de Blancs.
💯 It’s made with Chardonnay grapes sourced from several grands crus of the Côtes des Blancs: Chouilly, Cramant, Mesnil-sur-Oger, and Avize.
👌 An exceptional wine in every way—versatile in its culinary pairing options. Also, a perfectly chilled indulgence to pair with the golden hour.
It’s a spectacularly lifted expression from the soft, lush vintage of 2009.
Santé 🥂

Bright. Airy. Chalky with notes of honeysuckle.

Gorgeous with dried apricot, macadamia nut, stewed plum, and much more heft than your average rosé. Almost has the rich fruit and nut elements of a tawny port without being too sweet or overwhelming.
