Cuvée Louis Salmon Blanc de Blancs 2012 is an exceptional champagne from the house of Billecart-Salmon, crafted exclusively from Chardonnay grapes sourced from the finest parcels of Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs, including Cramant, Chouilly, Avize, and Mesnil-sur-Oger.
This champagne is characterized by its crystal-clear, pale golden color with delicate green highlights and persistent, fine bubbles. On the nose, it reveals pronounced aromas of lemon, almond biscuit, and white pepper, offering a fresh and mineral-driven aromatic profile.
