$260 / 1PK
Rare 2009 vintage cuvée. Need we say more? This is a phenomenal chance to experience the very top tier of Grand Cru provenance. Crafted entirely from premium Chardonnay, a portion of this pristine wine is vinified in oak casks before enduring over a decade of patient ageing on the lees. It pours a brilliant golden hue, delivering an alluring nose of toasted brioche, white flowers and lemon curd. On the palate, you'll discover a luxurious, creamy texture bursting with vibrant citrus and ripe orchard fruit, perfectly balanced by a distinct chalky minerality that commands a breathtakingly long finish.

Why do we love this wine?
Named to honour the brother of the house's founder, Louis Salmon, this iconic release is a pure reflection of exceptional terroir. The fruit is meticulously sourced from the finest Grand Cru parcels within the legendary Côte des Blancs, including the famous villages of Cramant, Chouilly, Mesnil-sur-Oger and Avize. These ancient chalk soils provide the vines with perfect drainage and impart an unmistakable tension and elegance to the wine. Through their fierce independence and unwavering commitment to quality, the Billecart family perfectly captures the unique essence of these prestigious plots, resulting in a masterclass of structural finesse and cellar-worthy longevity.
