    Overview

    Billecart-Salmon Louis Salmon 2012


    Introduction:
    Distinguished elegance of a mineral and exceptionally precise Chardonnay with a natural balance that is a harmonious representation of the best parcels of grand crus of Côte des Blancs: Cramant, Chouilly for the finesse, Avize for the force of character and Mesnil-sur-Oger for the structure and longevity. Louis Salmon 2012 delivers the very quintessence of the best Chardonnays in a remarkable year.

    Tasting Notes:
    Crystal clear appearance with a pale golden robe and subtle glints marked by hints of yellow and green. Persistent, very intense, luminous, sparkling effervescence.

    The initial expression is one marked by floral elegance with a fine touch of hazelnut and chestnut bread. With a racy aromatic profile and a chalky character, balanced and crystal clear (raw butter and pastry cream). An irresistible charm on airing, all wrapped up in the harmonious bond between terroir & vintage. 

    A creamy tactile feel of beautifully focused finesse offering a full-bodied, delightful texture. Gorgeous refreshing balance with natural and baked goods flavours (puff pastry brioche, mirabelle plum tart, limoncello). This powerful, masterful yet slender wine extends its finish towards an aromatic persistence of unbelievable length (fresh mango, mandarin pulp and candied chestnuts). 

    The inimitable dimension of a great Blanc de Blancs, pure and intense, with an integrity paired perfectly with its low dosage. Its potential and balance express an incredible finesse worthy of the greatest juxtapositions of flavours: veal sweetbreads from the Corrèze casseroled whole, Brittany abalone and samphire.
