Overview:
Billecart Le Clos Saint-Hilaire is a rare, single-vineyard Blanc de Noirs Champagne of extraordinary character, crafted exclusively from Pinot Noir grown in a walled, one-hectare plot in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ. Produced only in exceptional vintages and limited to just a few thousand individually numbered bottles, this cuvée is a testament to Billecart-Salmon’s commitment to precision, heritage, and terroir. Aged for over a decade on lees and vinified in oak, it represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship from a house renowned since 1818. Presented in a handcrafted wooden box, this Grand Cru Champagne offers collectors and connoisseurs a singular expression of elegance, ageability, and artisanal legacy.
Tasting Notes:
Le Clos Saint-Hilaire opens with a rich and vibrant bouquet—yeasty, alive, and layered with notes of cedar spice, verbena, and toasted brioche. As it evolves in the glass, hints of mandarin citrus emerge, weaving through a palate of remarkable depth and mineral precision. A whisper of nuttiness, almost creamy and reminiscent of fine Belgian chocolate, graces the mid-palate. Texturally luxurious yet guided by a laser-like acidity, it finishes long, with an almost oily richness balanced by extraordinary focus. A Champagne of both power and restraint, destined to age with grace for decades to come.
