Billecart-Salmon : Vintage 2004

The richness and refinement of a vintage champagne

The estate

Since its creation in 1818 by the married couple, Elisabeth Salmon and Nicolas-François Billecart, the Billecart-Salmon Champagne House has remained independent, having preserved all of its know-how and demand for high-quality cuvées for 7 generations.

The vineyard

The Billecart-Salmon vineyard covers 100 hectares from Côte des Blancs to the Reims mountain. The vines are cultivated and cared for in a traditional manner so that the wine resembles real fruit and to reflect the quality of its terroir.

Winemaking and ageing

The Vintage 2004 cuvée by the Billecart-Salmon House is a real ode to the power and vinosity of great pinot noirs from Champagne, as well as the elegance and minerality of chardonnay. The Vintage 2004 by Billecart-Salmon benefits from being aged in oak (sous bois) in barrels of 5 previous wines as well as an extra brut dosage.

Blend

The Vintage 2004 by Billecart-Salmon is made from a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Tasting

Colour

The wine is a golden yellow colour with subtle golden reflections. The effervescence is fine, crystal-clear and radiant.

Nose

The intense nose mixes notes of golden apple, lemony citrus and dried fruits with freshness and indulgence. A purity nuanced with hints of brioche.

Palate

The palate is rich and round, harmoniously expressing the perfect ripeness of the fruit.
