Billecart Salmon Cuvée Louis Salmon 2012 is a vintage, prestige-cuvée, blanc de blancs Champagne produced by Maison Billecart-Salmon in Epernay, France. Founded in 1818 with the marriage of Nicolas François Billecart to Elisabeth Salmon, Billecart-Salmon is one of the few Champagne houses to remain family-owned, now in its seventh generation. This cuvée was named in tribute to Elisabeth Salmon’s brother, Louis, who was involved in winemaking from the earliest creation of the house. The grapes are sourced from the best parcels of the Côte des Blancs and the resulting wine, here presented in magnum format, is endowed with purity and minerality.

The 2012 Brut Blancs de Blancs Louis Salmon is a gorgeous Champagne. Lemon confit, spice, baked apple tart, chamomile and dried flowers are all nicely amplified. The 2012 was done 75% in tank and 25% in oak, with most of the lots undergoing malolactic fermentation. There's a feeling of reserve in the 2012 that is quite appealing. This edition is terrific, but it also needs time to be at its best. I would be in no rush to open this. Low yields and a year beset by frost, hail, heavy rain, mildew and sunburn at various times produced a rich Champagne. The blend of sites in Mesnil-sur-Oger, Chouilly, Cramant and Oiry works so well. Dosage is 3.9 grams per liter. Disgorged: first trimester 2023.
