Description

The Billecart-Salmon 200-Year Anniversary Magnum 1.5L 2018 is an exceptional wine that was expertly crafted to embody the essence of the Billecart-Salmon brand. Mathieu Roland-Billecart, the seventh-generation owner, oversaw the production process to ensure that the wine is of the highest quality. This blend comprises 92% Pinot Noir, 4% Chardonnay, and 4% Pinot Meunier, sourced from eight Grand Crus in the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims regions, which includes the prestigious 1ha Pinot Noir vineyard of Le Clos St-Hilaire in Mareuil-Sur-Aÿ.

What makes this wine even more special is that it is presented in a magnum bottle, which holds 1.5 litres of wine. This larger bottle size not only makes for an impressive display but also offers several benefits for the wine. Firstly, the larger volume allows for a slower aging process, resulting in a more refined taste. Secondly, the cork-to-wine ratio is reduced, which helps to maintain the wine's quality and freshness. Lastly, the magnum size is ideal for sharing with friends and family, making it perfect for special occasions.

In summary, the Billecart-Salmon 200-Year Anniversary Magnum 1.5L 2018 is a remarkable wine that captures the essence of the Billecart-Salmon brand. The blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier from the eight Grand Crus in the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims regions, including the prestigious Le Clos St-Hilaire vineyard, makes for an exceptional taste. The magnum bottle size adds to the wine's allure, allowing for a slower aging process, maintaining its quality, and making it perfect for sharing on special occasions.
