Description
Billecart-Salmon Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru
Beautiful bubbles are for every, any, and all occasions!
Sparkling gold brilliance accompanied with fine bubbles. The nose opens with intense candied orange peel, dried peach, almond and fresh hazelnut aromas. The creamy mouthfeel possesses honeyed lemon, buttered brioche and light pineapple flavours. The smooth body and concentration is balanced by a crisp mineral feel. Ends in a persistent finish with fresh and elegant sweetness.
This cuvée is a blend of two different years and is elaborated from the four Grand Cru vineyards of the Côte des Blancs: Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Mesnil-sur-Oger. From 33% to 40% reserve wines, vinification in stainless steel tanks and aged on lees for 4–5 years.
