What to Expect

Champagne is specifically a sparkling wine made in the Champagne region of France; every other sparkling is simply that, sparkling wine. Made to be aged for a few to many years, in many languages "Champagne" is synonymous with "party". When young, Champagne exhibits the fresh fruit tones of its "cepage", or blend. Usually based on a blend the features either Chardonnay or Pinot Noir as its main ingredient, Champagne's fruit can range from citrusy to orchard fruits and even red berries. The wine gains distinct yeasty notes from its secondary fermentation, the one that adds the fizz, which is typically described as recalling brioche or bread. As it ages Champagne tends to lose its obvious fruit, which is replaced by subtle nutty tones and subdued elements of dried fruits.

Winemakers Notes

"The quest for "finesse, balance and elegance" has always guided the making ofthe Billecart-Salmon Champagnes. The Blanc de Blancs possesses vivid lemonynotes along with pear, honeysuckle, and green apple characteristics. It haspotential to last for the next 5-8 years"
(Simon Field MW, BBR-Buyer)

Rating: 18/20 - As reviewed by Jancis Robinson Strong autolysis effect on the nose and then the wine - for this is wine - manages to be both mild, friendly and interesting. Broad fan of flavours and very superior in its depth. I have to be honest though and admit that it s charms passed most other tasters by.
