Product Description:
Chardonnay at its purest, drawn from Champagne’s most prized white limestone soils. Sourced exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards across Avize, Cramant, Chouilly, and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Billecart-Salmon’s Le Blanc de Blancs is a benchmark expression of Côte des Blancs Chardonnay. Crafted from a blend of two vintages with extended lees ageing, it showcases precision, depth, and restraint in equal measure.
Luminous gold in the glass with a stream of fine, persistent bubbles, this cuvée offers an incisive mineral profile lifted by citrus zest, white florals, and fresh pastry. A creamy, chalky texture carries notes of lemon curd, green almond, and sea spray. Presented in a gift box with two Billecart-Salmon branded Champagne flutes, it’s ideal for gifting or elevating a shared moment.

“Very clean and creamy... sliced apple, pie crust, lemons, oyster shells, thyme... lovely freshness, fine creamy bubbles, rounded yet dry finish.” — James Suckling, 93 Points
