It has a dosage of 2 Grams per Liter. 100% vinified and fermented in French oak barrels, with a maceration on its lees for 159 months.

The Clos Saint Hilaire offers a totally enveloping experience due to its wide texture, the roundness of the fruit , the tension that it shows throughout the vintages and its great complexity. It has a full aroma, dominated by red fruits, candied citrus, hazelnuts and crushed almonds and a well-integrated oak.

Try this wonderful champagne with a cheese Cured comté or Parmesan, pairs very well with the saltiness and hazelnut notes of these cheeses, which are balanced by the richness of the Champagne.

It all began in 1818, with the union of Nicolas François Billecart and E lisabeth Salmon to found her champagne house. This is a family story since Louis Salmon, Elisabeth's brother and a keen oenologist, was already involved in making the wines. Thus, for seven generations, each member of the family strives to perpetuate the family tradition by fulfilling an oath that transcends the passage of time: ""bet on quality first, aspire to perfection"".
