The production of Le Réserve de Billecart-Salmon demi-bottle
Le Réserve is a blend of the three 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 in the Marne, and 43% Meunier from the Coteaux Sud d'Épernay and the Vallée de la Marne. Vinification is carried out at low temperatures in stainless steel vats to preserve all the aromatic subtlety of the grapes. More than 50% of the wines used are reserve wines. They guarantee depth and significant aromatic complexity. After 50 months of aging in the cellar, the cuvée is dosed as Extra Brut to highlight its purity and balance.
A distinctive and timeless style
The Réserve is a blend of several vintages, incorporating reserve wines to maintain stylistic continuity. Each year, however, brings subtle nuances, enriching this cuvée with an ever-changing identity.
