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), blended with those of white-fleshed fruits. A creamy sensation from finely chiseled bubbles on the palate combines with brioche and mineral notes. The finish is lingering, 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/>

Rated estate (2020 guide): 5* Stars (Exceptional producers who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and around the world)
About the estate:
This Mareuil-sur-Aÿ-based house, which is over 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 signature wine. The grapes come primarily from the Épernay region and the Marne Valley, notably from the grands crus. The house owns very few vineyards of its own (about a dozen hectares), but relies on high-quality supply contracts. The entire range is refined, prioritizing harmony over power, with many subtle nuances evident in each of its numerous cuvées. Today, Billecart ranks among the greats of Champagne.

About the estate:
A rare example of a company still family-owned, Billecart-Salmon is a thriving house. It owes its meteoric success in recent years to wines of exceptional quality and a sales strategy focused on high-end restaurants. An avid traveler, the dynamic Alexandre Bader, the company’s managing director, has successfully established this Mareuil-sur-Aÿ brand—which produces nearly two million bottles—around the world. Now equipped with new facilities, the company can look to the future with confidence.

A truly beautiful wine—expressive and full-bodied. Fine, light bubbles; pronounced, intense, and elegant aromas. A Grand Cru!
