Champagne Billecart-Salmon
2002 Le Clos Saint-Hilaire

Le Clos Saint-Hilaire 2002 is an exceptional champagne from Billecart-Salmon, crafted exclusively from 100% Pinot Noir grapes harvested from a single hectare vineyard in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ. This vineyard, known as Le Clos Saint-Hilaire, is renowned for producing champagnes of remarkable complexity and freshness.
The 2002 vintage is particularly notable, having spent 15 years aging on the lees before its disgorgement in May 2018. This extended maturation period contributes to its depth and character. The champagne exhibits a sustained yellow-gold hue with ultra-fine bubbles.
On the nose, it offers a rich bouquet of dried fruits, toasted brioche, and subtle floral notes. The palate is full-bodied and harmonious, featuring flavors of ripe pear, honey, and a touch of minerality, leading to a long, elegant finish.
