Champagne BILLECART SALMON Sous Bois Brut

Description

The Cuvée Le Sous Bois from Champagne Billecart-Salmon, presented here in a bottle and an elegant case, is a tribute to the Champagne tradition of vinifying and aging wines in oak barrels. It is a cuvée that captivates with its aromatic richness, elegant structure, and character. It is an ideal cuvée to accompany a gourmet meal.

The Elaboration of Champagne Le Sous Bois Billecart-Salmon

This cuvée combines the three emblematic grape varieties of Champagne: 43% Chardonnay from the Grands Crus of the Côte des Blancs, 28% Pinot Noir harvested in the Premiers and Grands Crus of the Montagne de Reims, Aÿ, and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, as well as 29% Meunier from the right and left banks of the Marne Valley. This cuvée is entirely vinified in old oak barrels. The wine benefits from prolonged aging on lees for 5 years, which brings aromatic complexity and a silky texture. The Extra Brut dosage (less than 6 g/L) accentuates its purity and balance.

The Vintage and Reserve Wines

This cuvée is based on a base year, enriched by carefully selected reserve wines dating back to 2006. This blend of several vintages guarantees exceptional depth and richness while maintaining great freshness.
