Le Clos Saint-Hilaire 2007 75cl

A deep golden robe with copper highlights and a fine, precise bead. On the nose, a palette of striking complexity: roasted almonds, kirsch, dried rose petals, pink grapefruit, nutmeg, and a chalky minerality that conjures the white craies of Mareuil-sur-Aÿ.

Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
With no malolactic fermentation, the cuvée displays a lively, taut acidity of pink grapefruit that carries the whole through the decades.
Roundness
Fourteen years on lees and full vinification in oak barrels lend the Pinot Noir a broad, silky texture.
Power
The architecture is commanding — medium to full body, discreet tannic concentration, and extraordinary aromatic energy.
Length on the Palate
The spiced, chalky finish lingers with exceptional persistence, the hallmark of the great clos wines of Champagne.

TASTING NOTES

A deep golden robe with copper highlights and a fine, precise bead. On the nose, a palette of striking complexity: roasted almonds, kirsch, dried rose petals, pink grapefruit, nutmeg, and a chalky minerality that conjures the white craies of Mareuil-sur-Aÿ. On the palate, the structure is powerful yet taut, with a rare tension for a Blanc de Noirs, and a long finish of chestnut honey, white truffle, and gentle spice.

Terroirs

Sourced from a single, one-hectare walled clos in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, a Premier Cru of the Vallée de la Marne, a historic property of the Billecart family since the nineteenth century. Pinot Noir grows here on chalky, clay-loam soils, sheltered from extreme temperature fluctuations, expressing the singular character of an exceptional single-vineyard terroir.

Billecart-Salmon

About this house

Founded in 1818 in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ by Nicolas François Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon, the Maison is one of the rare grandes maisons champenoises to have remained in family hands for over two centuries. Celebrated for its airy style, freshness, and aromatic precision, it carries out low-temperature vinifications and cultivates a significant share of its own vineyard estate.

Clos Saint-Hilaire is the most intimate and ambitious cuvée of the house: a single hectare, 100% Pinot Noir, vinified entirely in oak casks without malolactic fermentation, then aged for more than fourteen years on lees before disgorgement in May 2023. Fewer than 4,000 bottles per vintage, for one of the rarest expressions of terroir-driven Champagne.

Food pairing

The perfect pairing

Between the champagne and its dish
Prestige Aperitif

Prestige Aperitif

The tension and chalky minerality of Clos Saint-Hilaire pair beautifully with the warmth of a cheese pastry, whose buttery richness highlights the brilliance of the Pinot Noir.

Noble Starter

Noble Starter

The richness and aromatic depth of the 2007 vintage echo the unctuousness of foie gras, creating a haute gastronomie pairing that unites power and roundness.

A Dish of Character

A Dish of Character

The intensity of the Blanc de Noirs and its tertiary notes evoking truffle marry naturally with the complexity of a truffled poultry dish — a mirror pairing of rare elegance.
