Die Cuvée Louis ist das Blanc de Blancs-Gegenstück zum Rosé Elisabeth, also die Prestige Cuvée aus den besten Chardonnay-Trauben des Hauses. Benannt nach Elisabeth Salmons Bruder. Der warme Jahrgang 2009 hat vollreife und entsprechend kraftvolle Trauben hervorgebracht, die mit Power und Dichte glänzen. Die Trauben stammen aus den Grands Crus der Cote des Blancs: Chouilly und Cramant geben Cremigkeit und Finesse, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger das mineralische Rückgrat. Die Nase zeigt dem Jahrgang entsprechend eine feine Exotik von grüner Mango, Fingerlimes und Grapefruit, darunter Blätterteig und weißer Pfeffer. Ungemein puristisch und klar im Mund, trotz seiner gewaltigen Kraft. Ein superber Ausdruck des Chardonnay. Für die volle Bandbreite bestenfalls nicht zu kalt (10 bis 12 Grad) und aus größeren Weingläsern trinken. Im Frühjahr 2022 degorgiert.

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

In pursuit of freshness, the 2009 Brut Blanc de Blancs Louis Salmon was vinified entirely in stainless steel, with malolactic fermentation largely blocked. Disgorged in June 2022 with a dosage of 3.8 grams per liter, it rises from the glass with aromas of orange, dried flowers and pastry, mingled with hints of licorice. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, fleshy and textural, with a rich core of fruit structured around racy acidity, culminating in a long, lemon-inflected finish. Heavily based on Cramant and complemented by fruit from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Chouilly, it derives from an early September harvest.,,

Jeb Dunnuck über: 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 über: 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 über: 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.

Wine Enthusiast über: Champagne Cuvée Louis Salmon Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Extra Brut

Chardonnay from Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs presents its mineral texture and impressively fresh white fruits. Its taut character gives the Champagne a nervy character that helps keep its surprising youthfulness. Drink now.
