Champagne Billecart-Salmon Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru
Notes: Bettane & Desseauve 16/20, RVF 15.5/20
The Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs surprises with its very pure intensity of dried fruit aromas (almond, fresh hazelnut), mixed with those of white-fleshed fruits. A creamy sensation of finely chiseled bubbles on the palate is combined with brioche and mineral nuances. A lingering finish with a fresh and elegant smoothness!

Ce grand flacon se mariera parfaitement avec du caviar ou de belles huîtres mais également avec des poissons grillés ou des fruits de mer...<br/>
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide) 5 stars (Exceptional producers, representing the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and worldwide)
About the estate:
This house in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, which is two centuries old and still family-owned, gained an international reputation in the 1990s thanks to its light and refined champagnes, particularly its rosé, its flagship wine. The grapes come mainly from the Épernay area and the Marne Valley, including the grands crus. The house owns very few vineyards of its own (around 12 hectares), but can rely on high-quality supply contracts. The entire range is refined, favoring harmony over power, with many nuances that can be found in each of the numerous cuvées. Billecart is now one of the great names in Champagne.
