Champagne Billecart-Salmon Louis Salmon 2008 Review
From Billecart-Salmon — a brand predominately known for its rosé Champagnes — comes this crisp blanc de blancs. Made from Chardonnay grapes sourced from the Chouilly, Cramant, Mesnil-sur-Oger, and Avize grand crus, this bubbly delivers a clean salinity alongside sweet and tart Meyer lemon. The creamy mousse of this Champagne will keep you coming back for the next sip.
