Billecart-Salmon Le Blanc de Blancs Champagne Grand Cru
Exquisitely balanced yet powerful with a weightless, airy like feel to its flow.
A 100% Chardonnay cuvee sourced from the Grand Crus of Cotes des Blancs - Avize, Chouilly, Cramant and Mesnil-sur-Oger. It’s aged on lees for 5 years and includes anywhere from 20% to 50% reserve wines in the final blend.
Carries a satiny mousse which gradually fades into a pale straw coloured base that has pale gold tinged edges and an exceptionally fine bead. Delightful pear, citrus, brioche and yeast lees aromas fill the nostrils with whiffs of roasted cashew and dried honey also evident. Refined with a weightless, airy like feel to its flow, mouth filling flavours of pear, yeast lees and baked bread are layered across the palate. Exquisitely balanced yet powerful, it has a back drop of citrus and roasted cashew, crisp acidity and a long, gently creamed finish.
