Here, the nose seems “gloss first” at the moment but displays class and lanolin with an agreeable waxiness and richness. There is finesse and tension and an elegant white-flower-perfumed, pear-fruited complexity. The perfect conjunction of mineral terroir and lovely subtle complexity. Really bright. Precision, weight and a real sense of place.

Sparkling and crystalline with fine and plentiful bubbles. A blooming nose with harmonious notes of butter, white flesh fruits as well as Mirabelle plums and dried fruits.

The tasting Committee tastes each of these base wines and selects only the ones that match the standard and the style of Billecart-Salmon. Some of the wines that are not selected are bottled to be part of a second wine from the House, Inspiration 1818.

The tropical notes of Drifting Chardonnay waft into flavors of lightly toasted oak, green apples and surprise you with a zest of light lemon finishing rich and carefree.

If the mood calls for seafood, a grilled piece of white fish mapped in beurre blanc, a beautiful cedar-planked salmon filet, or fettuccine in an alfredo sauce with grilled shrimp and mixed vegetables should set you adrift. If wandering toward the lighter side, a crisp wedge or Caesar salad with baked chicken is a delightful path. Whichever direction you take, a pleasant experience awaits.

Winemaker Notes

Behind its pale yellow color, our Savigny-Les-Beaune 2020 reveals a lightly toasted, buttery nose with citrus notes of grapefruit and lemon. The palate is rich and straightforward, while the finish displays great balance between amplitude and minerality.

Between the hills of Corton and Beaune, Savigny-Les-Beaune is a very old wine village. Historically, the vineyard belonged to the Dukes of Burgundy and neighbouring abbeys. Its limestone-rich soils give birth to a fresh and floral Chardonnay, a gorgeous representation of this unique terroir.

The altitude, cold climate and poor soils result in wines with their own personality. Different among them, as the varieties are different, but they all maintain a line of freshness, fruit and minerality of our terroir.

Pale gold with a flourish of delicate bubbles and enticing lemon cream and almond Biscotti precede lovely layers of citrus and a finish with appealing length and freshness. Maturation on the lees provides a well-rounded, creamy mouth-feel with mouthwatering minerality, good balance and a seamless finish.

Harvest began early in the season at lower sugar levels to achieve the mouthwatering natural freshness required for the making of great base wines in classic Méthode Cap Classique style. Grapes were hand-picked in the cool dawn before the rush of day, lovingly quality sorted for any impurities and placed in small lug boxes for gentlest handling in transportation to the cellar.

The vineyards at Viña Echeverría are located in the Curicó Valley and the rows are planted in an east-westerly direction to potentiate the sun’s exposure.

The wine is fresh on the nose with hints of white flowers and white peach. On the palate, it's fresh with an excellent balance of acidity and some sweetness. It is rich with floral and creamy pastry undertones. Long and persistent finish. 

 

The handpicked and mechanically harvested grapes come from their vineyard site called “Can Bas” with an average age of vines of 15 years. Grapes are picked from mid-August until the end of September. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a very low temperature between 12 -14 ºC for several days. The coupage wine obtained undergoes 2nd fermentation in the bottle according to the traditional “Méthode Champenoise”. We employ a strain of yeast which increases mannoprotein content in the cava in order to achieve velvety and creamy mouth feel.

Domaine Bernard Defaix is a highly-rated family estate based in Milly, with the vines for this bottling averaging 30 years age. Ten months lees ageing adds to the complexity on both the nose and palate. Refined, classy and complex characters on show here, which meld beautifully with the ripe peachy fruit notes.
