Champagne Le Clos Saint-Hilaire from Billecart-Salmon represents a refined and rare expression of the terroir of Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, in the prestigious Champagne region. This wine comes from a single historic vineyard, Le Clos Saint-Hilaire, a cru that benefits from a limestone and clay soil perfect to enhance the minerality and structure of Pinot Noir, the main grape of this champagne.
The aging takes place in the cellar in oak barrels, an unusual step in the world of Champagne, which imparts complexity, depth, and an elegant roundness to the aromatic profile. On the nose, floral notes of withered rose, ripe red fruits, and light spicy hints emerge. On the palate, it is harmonious, with a vibrant freshness balanced by a pleasant sapidity and a long persistence.
Ideal to pair with shellfish, delicate white meats, or soft cheeses, this Champagne is a masterpiece that respects tradition tout en offrant une touche contemporaine, highlighting the uniqueness of its territory with elegance and finesse.
