The Champagne Elisabeth Salmon Jeroboam Cassa di Legno from the maison Billecart-Salmon stands out for the elegance and depth conferred by its particular maturation. Produced in Jeroboam format, this champagne is aged in wooden barrels, a practice that enriches its character with a unique complexity, enhancing the pleasant aromas of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the main grape varieties of the Champagne region.

The territory, recognized for its underlying chalk and cool climate, gives the wine a vibrant acidity and freshness, balanced by a creamy texture derived from wooden aging. On the nose, notes of white fruit, bread crust, and yeast emerge, accompanied by light spicy and vanilla nuances, while on the palate it shows harmony, structure, and persistence with a refined and mineral finish.

Perfect for special occasions, this Jeroboam pairs excellently with shellfish, raw fish, and gourmet fish dishes, thanks to its natural elegance and freshness. A rare and sophisticated expression of Champagne, celebrating the tradition and innovation of the renowned Billecart-Salmon cellar.
