    Overview

    Billecart-Salmon Le Clos Saint-Hilaire 2007


    The freshness and elegance of a vintage Blanc de Noirs champagne

    Tasting Notes:
    The colour of the wine presents a magnificent golden yellow, enhanced by brilliant coppery reflections.

    On the nose, this champagne evokes aromas of malted cereals, acacia flowers, broom and orange blossom. Then come roasted notes, toasted bread, blond tobacco and sweet spices.  

    On the palate, this 2007 vintage reveals itself in all its splendor: combining structure and roundness, it unveils delicate notes of ripe white and yellow flesh fruits, quince jelly and beeswax before blossoming on a superb minerality.

    Serving:
    A unique tasting experience, where each great rare vintage results in a very limited number of bottles (4,800 bottles). 

    Served at cellar temperature (12-14°C), this micro-cuvée makes a glorious pairing with wild ikejime turbot with Burmese coffee or a delicate roasted porcini tartlet.

    Technical Information

    Grape Variety:
    100% Pinot Noir

    Ageing on lees: for 177 months
    Dosage: 1.9 g/l

    Disgorged: May 2023

    Background Information:
    Since its creation in 1818 by the spouses Elisabeth Salmon and Nicolas-François Billecart, the Champagne Billecart-Salmon House has remained independent, preserving for 7 generations the entirety of its know-how and the demand for the quality of its cuvées.

    The vineyard of Maison Billecart-Salmon extends from the Côte des Blancs to the Montagne de Reims over nearly 100 hectares. The vines are cultivated and cared for in a traditional way to approach an authentic fruit and reflect the quality of the Champagne terroir.

    Coming from a one-hectare plot of old vines planted in 1964, this Clos meets particularly demanding standards: it is a single plot, enclosed and in one piece.
