Crystal clear lemon and ripe apple aromas are repeated on the crisp- almost crunchy- palate through to a long- translucent finish. The new packaging emanates from a Paris designer- and has been adopted across the Billecart range. It is a classic example of label change which gives brand managers a read more...bad name. However the wine in the bottle is as good as ever- with perfect balance and poise- offering a seamless mix of ripe apple- brioche and a subliminal hint of honey- followed by a lingering finish."James Halliday- Nov 20-21 2004BillecartBillecart-Salmon is a medium-sized champagne house in Mareuil-sur-Ay- France.
