The 2009 Billecart-Salmon Cuvée Louis Brut Blanc de Blancs is a distinguished Champagne crafted exclusively from Grand Cru Chardonnay grapes sourced from the Côte des Blancs villages of Cramant, Chouilly, and Mesnil-sur-Oger. This vintage pays tribute to Louis Salmon, an early oenologist of the house.

Fermented entirely in stainless steel to preserve its freshness, the wine underwent partial malolactic fermentation and aged on fine lees for 144 months before disgorgement in the second quarter of 2022. It was finished with a dosage of 3.75 grams per liter, classifying it as an Extra Brut Champagne.

On the nose, it reveals elegant aromas of citrus fruits like mandarin and yuzu, complemented by notes of pear in syrup, fresh honey, and butter. The palate is pure and intense, showcasing a mineral-driven profile with a chalky texture and a delicate salinity on the finish.

This Champagne's taut character and vibrant acidity make it an excellent companion for refined dishes such as caviar or delicate seafood preparations. Its impressive freshness and complexity also allow it to be enjoyed on its own as a celebratory aperitif.

The 2009 Cuvée Louis exemplifies Billecart-Salmon's commitment to producing Champagnes of exceptional purity and finesse, offering a harmonious expression of its Grand Cru origins.
