The Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs from Maison Billecart Salmon is a non-vintage Champagne Brut, which is born exclusively from a rigorous selection of the best Chardonnay grapes from prestigious parcels located within the territory of four legendary Grand Cru Côte des Blancs: Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Mesnil-sur-Oger. At the end of the manual harvest, the bunches are pressed very softly and the must ferments in temperature-controlled tanks with vinifications conducted separately for each individual parcel. The base wines rest for a few months, partially undergoing malolactic fermentation, before being blended to create the final cuvée, with the addition of a percentage that varies from 33 to 40% of reserve wines from previous vintages, which contribute to giving richness and maturity to the wine. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the Champenoise Method, with a period of aging on the lees of 6-8 years in the Maison's caves.
