Description

Le Sous Bois cuvée from Billecart-Salmon champagne, presented here in a bottle and in an elegant case, is a tribute to the Champagne tradition of vinifying and aging wines in oak barrels. This cuvée seduces with its aromatic richness, elegant structure, and character. It is an ideal cuvée to accompany an entire gourmet meal.

The Making of Le Sous Bois Billecart-Salmon Champagne

This cuvée combines the three emblematic grape varieties of Champagne: 43% Chardonnay from the Grand Crus of the Côte des Blancs, 28% Pinot Noir harvested from the Premier and Grand Crus of the Montagne de Reims, Aÿ, and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, as well as 29% Meunier from the right and left banks of the Vallée de la Marne. This cuvée is entirely vinified in old oak barrels. The wine benefits from a prolonged maturation on lees for 5 years, which brings aromatic complexity and a silky texture. The Extra Brut dosage (less than 6 g/L) accentuates its purity and balance.

Vintage and Reserve Wines

This cuvée is based on a base year, enriched with carefully selected reserve wines dating back to 2006. This blend of several vintages ensures exceptional depth and richness while maintaining great freshness.
