H. Billiot Fils Brut Grand Cru Champagne

Disgorged 25th June 2014. Pours with a creamy white mousse that has excellent hold. Once dissipated it reveals a pale gold straw coloured base wine with an exceptionally fine and very persistent bead. The nose displays superb intensity with baked bread top notes over toast, brioche and yeast lees followed by citrusy almond end notes. Full and rich the palate has a distinct cashew nuttiness about it which overlays baked bread, toasted honey and almond characters. Clean crisp dry finish. Creamy full textured mouthfeel with a long aftertaste of cashew, almond, toasted honey and yeasty baked bread. A rich, full and creamy Champagne with a distinct nutty complexity.
