Light, fine and harmonious, the Brut Réserve is a blend from three different years and sourced from the best sites in the Champagne region. The nose combines charming white and red fruits, whilst the palate is wonderfully fresh and forward, with some complex toasty notes from the lees aging.
The champagnes of Maison Billecart-Salmon are revered around the world, and the majority of the grapes for the Brut Réserve come from a radius of 20km around Epernay, famed for its Grand Cru Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay.
"Highly aromatic and delicate, the nose has lovely red and orchard fruits, whilst the palate is wonderfully fresh and elegant, with some stony minerality. A benchmark Brut from Billecart-Salmon"
Luke, Wine Guru
What the critics say:
"The Billecart-Salmon NV Brut Réserve is a blend of 40% Pinot Meunier (sourced in the Vallée de la Marne and the Coteaux Sud d'Epernay), 30% Chardonnay (from different villages along the Marne) and 30% Pinot Noir (from the Montagne de Reims and the Grande Vallée de la Marne). The recent disgorgement from January 2018 is straw-yellow in color and based 40% on the 2015 harvest, with 60% of reserve wines. The result is a light and delicately fruity flavored cuvée with aromatic and spicy Pinot Meunier and redcurrant aromas intertwined with chalky expressions and notes of ripe pears and yeast. Round and fresh on the palate, this is a light, finessed, elegant, very delicate and harmoniously fruity Brut with a stunningly intense, persistent, well-structured and purely salty finish. Very stimulating as a soloist, aperitif or with lighter dishes."
