The traditional method champagnes of the Les Rendez-vous de Billecart-Salmon series are the results of unique, unrepeatable experiments. It seeks to showcase the relationship between the given grape variety and the terroir in each vintage. The eighth in the series, this exceptional release highlights the character of the Meunier grape and fully expresses the mineral-driven personality of the Leuvrigny terroir, which is defined predominantly by its chalky soils. This single-cru champagne, built on the 2018 vintage, was aged for 63 months and bottled with only 3.5 g/l dosage, allowing the grape variety, the terroir and the ageing to express themselves fully.
A champagne with a strong identity, showing subtle floral aromas and characteristic minerality. Full-bodied flavours of crisp, fresh fruits, with citrus, stone fruits, cherry, blueberry and apricot, as well as fresh fig.

Billecart-Salmon
Indifferent to fleeting trends, yet in tune with its era, the Billecart-Salmon House was founded in 1818 by husband and wife Nicolas François Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon. Seven generations later, the heirs of an ancestral savoir-faire, the whole family knows that it is their duty to uphold this quality requirement. From the Cőte des Blancs to the Reims Mountain, not forgetting the right bank of the Marne River, the greatest vintages of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier blossom. The Billecart-Salmon House covers around 50 hectares, and gets its grapes from a total of 170 hectares of land. Frequently cited for the quality of its vintages, the House pays particular attention to selecting the best grapes. At the foot of the Mareuil-sur-Ay hill, the family cultivates one hectare of Pinot Noir on a single, enclosed parcel. It is called Clos St Hilaire. The magic of the terroir combined with human skills have given rise to a wine which is particularly renowned for the complexity and rarity of its aromas.
