Reviews & Scores
The Champagnes of Maison Billecart-Salmon are made from grapes grown in a radius of 20km around Epernay, in the vineyards of the Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne and the Côte des Blancs. This cuvée is made from the best parcels of the Côte des Blancs. Simon Field MW: A serious oak-aged blanc de blancs, plenty of pineapple and quince, nutmeg and spice; it’s a very impressive and alluringly seductive wine, young beyond its years! Alan Bednarski: Classic, typical oven-baked stone fruits seasoned with fresh black pepper and cinnamon, a hint of salinity on the finish. Tim Hall: A wide-awake nose: butter, lemon and greengage. A tight middle but so refreshing. - DC

The 2007 Brut Cuvée Louis Salmon is another stellar wine from Billecart-Salmon. In many ways, it is the polar opposite of 2006. Here the team felt the wine needed body to balance the tension of the year. About half of the lots were done in barrel, while most of the wine underwent malolactic fermentation. Pretty citrus and floral notes abound. Stylistically, the 2007 is a bit more open than the 2006, even though the personalities of the two years would have suggested the exact opposite. (AG) - VM

Disgorged in October 2018 with seven grams per liter dosage, the 2007 Brut Blanc de Blancs Cuvée Louis Salmon derives from the villages of Cramant, Chouilly and Mesnil-sur-Oger, and half of the vins clairs that went into the blend were vinified in older barrels. It's still tightly wound, even after over a year on cork, unfurling in the glass with a delicate bouquet of crisp yellow apple, Meyer lemon, blanched almonds, elderflower and crushed chalk. Medium to full-bodied, deep and searingly intense, it's seamless and complete, with a bracing spine of acidity, a delicate pinpoint mousse, and a long, mouthwateringly mineral finish. This is a serious, built-to-age wine that will really reward patience. (WK) - WA

The velvety texture of this finely knit Champagne ripples on your palate, highlighting flavors of ginger-infused pastry cream, glazed apricot and lemon curd, with a rich hint of hazelnut. Clean-cut, with mouthwatering acidity defining the salty, mineral-laced finish. (AN) - WS
