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 7th generation. Most of the grapes used for winemaking come from a radius of 20 km around Epernay. Le Clos Saint Hilaire is produced from a 1ha parcel of Pinot Noir vines and is named after the patron saint of the church in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ. Vinified in oak casks, and produced in small quantities.

On the nose, a touch of biscuit, fresh roasted hazelnuts, white pepper and sweet spice together with ripe fruit character. The ample palate displays citrus and orchard fruit notes, leading to deliciously mineral finish.

Entirely vinified in oak and disgorged in May 2018, after 15 years on the lees in bottle, the 2002 Millésime Brut Le Clos Saint-Hilaire is a single-plot Blanc de Noirs from Pinot Noir vines planted in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ in 1964. Highly fine and pure on the deep, elegant and spicy nose, with intense mirabelle and apricot flavors, this is a pure, salty, very finessed yet tensioned, complex, mineral and refreshing Pinot with intense and well-concentrated fruit, a juicy texture and persistent structure. The finish is very long but pure, fresh, salty and, in any case, highly stimulating! Total production. 3,700 bottles. Tasted November 2018. - Stephan Reinhardt

100% Pinot Noir (from a single parcel of vines in Mareuil planted in 1964). Just under one ha produced four kg of fruit (10.8 kg in 2018!). 15 years lees ageing. 100% vinified in oak. Cordon pruning so fruit is only from the main branch; less yield and more concentration. Only 3,700 bottles on the market. Organic for over 20 years. Dosage 1 g/l (in 1999 it was 0 g/l so no big change).Very deep straw-gold. Very heady. Smells much richer than most champagnes. Not that tart at all. Exotic tincture/liqueur. Extremely distinctive. Cigars and truffles. Surely a wine for food. Very rich and reverberant on the end. Very gentle indeed. Extract is massively much higher than any other wine. Extremely powerful… An after-dinner drink, apparently – or with lamb. A meaty dish. Not scallops and ceviche! (JR)
