Naturally, the 2013 offers a bit more tension, cut and drive, all signatures of this late-ripening vintage. Chalk, slate, crushed rocks, citrus confit and hazelnut all race across the palate as the 2013 sizzles with tension from start to finish. This is still a baby. Give it time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 Points - \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e:  \u003c\/span\u003eA restrained wine with aromas of lemons, chalk, lemon leaves and minerals.

On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied and elegantly muscular, with a tensile core of crystalline purity, racy acids and ample chalky extract. Harvested in October, it derives from the communes of Cramant, Chouilly, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oiry and was vinified entirely in stainless steel with full malolactic fermentation in pursuit of greater harmony in a cool-profile vintage such as this. It is slightly more elegant and simultaneously less powerful than the 2012 rendition, yet it remains equally compelling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chambers and Chambers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67838222270785,"sku":"01-25594","price":199.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0009\/1688\/1467\/files\/kvecmfjr0yhctmny59mu.jpg?v=1791657349","url":"https:\/\/vintagewinessd.com\/products\/2013-billecart-salmon-louis-salmon-blanc-de-blanc","provider":"Vintage Wines San Diego","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
