Cuvée Louis er Blanc de Blancs-modstykket til Rosé Elisabeth, prestige-cuvéen lavet af husets bedste Chardonnay-druer. Opkaldt efter Elisabeth Salmons bror. Den varme 2009-årgang gav fuldmodne og tilsvarende kraftige druer, der stråler af kraft og tæthed. Druerne kommer fra Grands Crus i Cote des Blancs: Chouilly og Cramant giver cremethed og finesse, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger den mineralske rygrad. I overensstemmelse med årgangen viser næsen en fin eksotisme af grøn mango, fingerlimes og grapefrugt, med butterdej og hvid peber nedenunder. Ekstremt puristisk og klar i munden på trods af sin enorme kraft. Et fremragende udtryk for Chardonnay. Drikkes bedst ikke for koldt (10 til 12 grader) og af større vinglas for at få det fulde spektrum. Degorgeret i foråret 2022.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Champagne Cuvée Louis Salmon Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Extra Brut

The 2009 Champagne Blanc De Blancs Louis Salmon Brut comes from Mesnil, Cramant and Chouilly and was all fermented in stainless steel tank. Since 2009 was a warmer vintage, they did not use wood, as they were looking to preserve the freshness of the wine. A seductive wine that’s almost identical in appearance to the 2017 Blanc de Blancs, this 2009 jumps from the glass with a buoyant personality in its perfume of lemon custard, honeysuckle, fresh brioche, a hint of almond, and juicy pear. Full-bodied, its wonderfully rich texture coats the palate with citrus oils, and it has a finish that won’t quit. It balances its warmth and solar feel with a lovely embrace and retains a powerful yet balanced finish.

Suckling om: Champagne Cuvée Louis Salmon Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Extra Brut

This is showing an array of almonds, frangipani, dried lemons, apricots, pastries and white chocolate, evolving to salted caramel. Fantastic complexity and all in balance, with firm focus yet open and delicious. Creamy, very fine bubbles. Salty, turning chalky and mineral at the end.

Galloni om: Champagne Cuvée Louis Salmon Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Extra Brut

The 2009 Brut Blancs de Blancs Louis Salmon is a rich, heady wine. In 2009, Billecart-Salmon opted not to use lots aged in oak, which, along with partially blocked malolactic fermentation, helps explain the wine's freshness and verve. Lemon peel, white flowers, white pepper and chalk are all beautifully delineated. There's gorgeous density and power here, along with a good bit of vintage 2009 radiance. What a gorgeous Champagne this is. The Louis Salmon is a blend from Mesnil-sur-Oger, Chouilly and Cramant.

Parker om: Champagne Cuvée Louis Salmon Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Extra Brut

Disgorged during the second quarter of 2022 with a dosage of 3.75 grams per liter, the 2009 Brut Blanc de Blancs Cuvée Louis Salmon reveals aromas of pear, lemon oil, mandarin oil, white pepper, pastry and almonds. Medium to full-bodied, chiseled and long, it has a crystalline yet vinous texture with a fresh, salty finish. It is a quintessential representation of Billecart's style, characterized by racy acids and a lively palate. It derives from Chardonnay grapes sourced from the villages of Mesnil-sur-Oger, Chouilly and Cramant and was aged exclusively in steel tanks.
