The production of Le Sous Bois Billecart-Salmon champagne
This cuvée combines the three emblematic grape varieties of Champagne: 43% Chardonnay from the Grands Crus of the Côte des Blancs, 28% Pinot Noir harvested in the Premiers and Grands Crus of the Montagne de Reims, Aÿ, and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, and 29% Meunier from the right and left banks of the Marne Valley. This cuvée is vinified entirely in old oak barrels. The wine benefits from extended aging on lees for five years, which brings aromatic complexity and a silky texture. The Extra Brut dosage (less than 6 g/L) accentuates its purity and balance.
The 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 guarantees exceptional depth and richness, while maintaining great freshness.
