The Le Réserve cuvée from Billecart-Salmon champagne is a model of elegance and purity. This airy cuvée seduces with its delicate aromas and incomparable freshness.

The Making of Le Réserve Champagne by Billecart-Salmon

The Le Réserve cuvée is the result of a blend of the main grape varieties of Champagne. It is composed of 28% Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims and the Grande Vallée de la Marne, 29% Chardonnay from various crus of the Marne, and 43% Meunier harvested in the Vallée de la Marne and the Coteaux Sud d'Épernay. Vinification takes place in stainless steel vats at low temperature, ensuring optimal preservation of the aromas. More than 50% of the wines used are reserve wines. They bring great complexity and aromatic depth to this cuvée. The aging in the cellar lasts approximately 50 months, after which the cuvée is dosed as Extra Brut to highlight the purity and balance of the wine.

The Style of Le Réserve

Le Réserve is a blend of several years, with half of the wines coming from the same year, complemented by reserve wines from previous harvests. This approach ensures continuity in style while integrating nuances specific to each harvest.
