The champagne Billecart-Salmon Louis Salmon Blanc de Blancs, vintage 1988 from the winery Champagne Billecart-Salmon has been rated in 2022 by Anne Krebiehl MW with 99 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Chardonnay from the region Champagne in France.
A most unusual nose recalls an orange and olive oil cake: rich, soft, generous, fragrant with almond, citrus, baked sugar and rich, springy pastry. This initial notion is followed by hints of smoke and subtle top notes of roasted nuts. The palate unites these notions and adds the dimension of depth with reinforced flavours of hazelnut, grilled cashew, freshly grated orange zest and a touch of cappuccino. A most beautifully lively mousse swirls all these notions into palate and mind and builds a bridge between those heady aromas and that lovely, tertiary depth. The finish returns to a serene note of freshly grated orange zest and saltiness. Timeless.
