Brut Réserve, Billecart-Salmon
A faultless performance, the swirling mousse lifts the wine's complex aromas as if making an offering to the gods. Has a true perfume, discreet and complex, containing both fresh and glacéed fruit notes - citrus pear and peach. Soft and yet taut, the wine melts in the mouth leaving scarcely a trace on the tongue, refreshing and at the same time inviting further interest.
"A fine straw-gold colour with great finesse of bubble flow and mousse. Joyful aromas of apple blossom and ripe pear. A full, defined palate demonstrates richness that will help to give this a long life in the cellar."
95 pts., Micael Edwards, decanter.com
"Based on the 2018 vintage, with 55% of reserve wines, the NV Brut Réserve from Billecart-Salmon is a blend of 40% Pinot Meunier, 30% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir, with a dosage of 6.2 grams per liter. It offers a bouquet with aromas of spring flowers, menthol, pastry, brioche, orchard fruits and pear. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is moderately weighted, with a delicate mousse and a perfectly balanced texture. Very charming. It concludes with a saline, aromatic finish. It represents the first stage in the qualitative evolution of the house, initiated by Mathieu Roland-Billecart."
