Billecart-Salmon Blancs de Blancs Louis Salmon Brut 2009

Bright citrus zest and crushed chalk dominate, with white pepper adding complexity to this focused, mineral-driven Champagne. The decision to skip oak and limit malolactic fermentation pays dividends in precision and energy. Sourced from premier cru vineyards in Mesnil-sur-Oger, Chouilly and Cramant, this shows the vintage's characteristic intensity with excellent aging potential.
