To make consistently good Blanc de Blancs, it is necessary to use good grapes every time. The strength of a House such as Billecart-Salmon lies in experience, but also in the quality of fruit. Billecart-Salmon rejects grapes that do not meet the most stringent standards. This extreme determination to provide quintessential quality gives Billecart-Salmon it's status of noblesse. The House of Billecart-Salmon seeks genuine excellence, as contributing vineyards are classified according to the quality of fruit they produce, the best vineyards are ranked as 100% of echelle des crus all the way down to 80% Very few Houses can make a claim like Billecart-Salmon, that the quality of the grapes sourced, average at above 95%

It's elegant, gracious vinosity is particularly appreciated by connoisseurs.
