Billecart-Salmon Blanc de Blancs 2004
Production

Billecart-Salmon uses the méthode champenoise for their champagne production. The Blanc de Blancs 2004 is composed of 100% Chardonnay from 100% grand cru vineyards. About 15 percent of the fruit for this vintage was fermented in oak barrels with a portion going through malolactic fermentation. Billecart-Salmon typically ages it's vintage champagnes from 8 to 10 years on lees.

Billecart Salmon incorporates a technique called double debourbage where solids in pressed juice settle to clarify, then a second 'cold' settling occurs at about 40 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 48 hours. This process ensures purity for juice used for fermentation. The fermentation process typically takes place over 3 to 4 weeks at a temperature not to exceed approximately 57 degrees F (typical fermentation at most houses is 1 week at about 68 degrees F).
