The Making of the Le Réserve Half-Bottle by Billecart-Salmon

The Le Réserve cuvée is made from a blend of the three main grape varieties of Champagne. It consists 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 from the Coteaux Sud d’Épernay and the Vallée de la Marne. The vinification, carried out at low temperature in stainless steel vats, preserves all the aromatic subtlety of the grapes. More than 50% of the wines integrated are reserve wines. They ensure a significant aromatic depth and complexity. After aging in the cellar for 50 months, the cuvée is dosed as Extra Brut to emphasize its purity and balance.

A Distinctive and Timeless Style

Le Réserve is a blend of several harvests, incorporating reserve wines to maintain stylistic continuity. Each year, however, brings subtle nuances, enriching this cuvée with an ever-renewed identity.

The Advantages of the Half-Bottle

The half-bottle format is an excellent solution for enjoying champagne in small quantities. Easy to transport and chill, the half-bottle is ideal for tastings for two or to accompany a single dish. Moreover, its reduced volume allows for a slightly faster evolution of the aromas, offering a often more immediate tasting experience.
