Billecart-Salmon Cuvée Louis Salmon Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne 2008
This cuvée was named in tribute to Louis, Elisabeth Salmon’s brother, who was passionate about oenology and highly involved in winemaking from the earliest creation of the House. Originating from the best parcels of the Côte des Blancs, the Blanc de Blancs vintage is endowed with purity and minerality. Distinguished elegance of a mineral and exceptionally precise Chardonnay with a natural balance that is a harmonious representation of the best parcels of grand crus of Côte des Blancs: Cramant, Chouilly for the finesse, Avize for the force of character and Mesnil-sur-Oger for the structure and longevity. Vintage: 2008 Country: France Region: Champagne Appellation: Champagne Grapes: Chardonnay Farming: Organic Drink: Now-2035

The 2008 Brut Blancs de Blancs Louis Salmon is fabulous. It offers a compelling mix of 2008 energy and the complexity that develops with time in the bottle. Orchard fruit, spice, dried flowers, chamomile and tangerine peel all grace this exquisite, nuanced Champagne. Readers can expect a rich, broad Champagne endowed with notable textural intensity. Hints of marzipan, lemon confit and white flowers linger. Disgorged: October 2020. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2023)

2008 vintage. May as well be the 2022 vintage as this will be extremely long-lived. Persistent acidity push framed with Bartlett pear and Pippin apple flavors. So little brioche/yeast/bready flavors but a really striking, textural hint of oiliness. Fresh as a daisy and just may outlive, with finesse/elegance, many reading this. My apologies. The Spring season encapsulated for the next quarter century. Expecting this to evolve at a glacial pace. @Bill Bender This did not suck.

Young and full potential to be spectacular. Apple and brioche in the nose, I. The mouth a lot happens, of course it’s fresh but also there is complexity and concentration.

This could age for a while yet. Still fresh but has the creamy aged champagne notes. Lemon and curd notes. Great
