The Billecart-Salmon Le Sous Bois NV Magnum (1500ml) is a distinctive Extra Brut Champagne made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier. Entirely vinified at low temperature in old oak casks, it shows citrus and orchard fruit with pastry, malt, gentle spice and subtle mocha notes.
On the palate, it is textured and structured, with fine bubbles, fresh acidity and layers of citrus, baked fruit and savoury oak complexity. Five years of lees ageing adds depth while maintaining a precise, persistent finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those who enjoy Champagne with greater texture and oak-derived complexity. The 1.5L magnum format has a recommended cellaring potential of around 10–12 years. Serve at approximately 10°C and pair with roast chicken, Moreton Bay bugs, mushroom dishes or hard cheeses.
