Le Sous Bois | Bottle 75cl

Description

The Le Sous Bois cuvée from Billecart-Salmon is a blend aged in oak barrels, a characterful cuvée that will accompany a meal from cocktails to cheese.

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 from the Premier and Grand Crus of the Montagne de Reims, Aÿ, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, and 29% Meunier harvested in the Vallée de la Marne. Vinified entirely in old oak barrels, it perpetuates an ancestral know-how. Once bottled, this cuvée benefits from a maturation on lees for 5 years. This long aging allows the wine to develop great aromatic complexity and a silky texture. The Extra Brut dosage highlights the purity and balance of this cuvée.

Vintage and Reserve Wines

The Le Sous Bois cuvée relies on a base year, enriched by a collection of reserve wines dating back to 2006. This blend of several vintages gives this cuvée remarkable depth.
