What to Expect

Chardonnay is America's most popular grape and with good reason. Made in styles that range from steely, mineral laced wines with crisp green apple fruit to wines that are buttery, rich, and laden with tropical fruits, there is a Chardonnay that will appeal to every palate. Chardonnay is most closely associated with France's Burgundy region and California's Northern valleys though it has proven successful around the globe.

Winemakers Notes

The quest for "finesse, balance and elegance" has always guidedthe making of the Billecart-Salmon Champagnes. The Blanc de Blancs possessesvivid lemony notes along with pear, honeysuckle, and green applecharacteristics. It has potential to last for the next 5-8 years.<br/><br/>

At first, we notice very fine bubbles in a single line, which to me is a trademark from Billecart-Salmon. The foam is light and disappear slowly. On the nose, white flowers and lemon. The aromas are present but not overwhelming. This Champagne is all about subtlety. On the palate, it is an explosion of aromas, complex, but very well balance. Honey, more lemon and white flowers, with a well integrated minerality. The finish is lingering and quite long.

Another great example of this Grande Maison de Champagne that should drink well for many years.
