Description
Everywhere in the world, Billecart-Salmon is celebrated as special Champagne enjoying a constant and extensive presence on the world’s finest wine lists. Almost all the 23 Michelin Restaurants in Paris serve Billecart-Salmon by the glass. It is rarely discounted, due to tight global allocations with demand outstripping supply. In the last 5-years the House has extended lees aging in bottle from 30-months (double the Champagne appellations 15-month requirement) to a whopping 50-months (more than 3 times). In addition, they have added a sizeable 15-vintage Reserve component to the final blend taking depth & complexity to rarified heights. Billecart-Salmon are a 206+ year old Family House committed to Champagne Excellence well beyond the big commercial brands… but not a bridge to far different in price. The Brut Reserve NV… has been renamed “Le Réserve” and remains a blend of 40% Meunier, 30% Chardonnay, and 30% Pinot Noir. But incorporates a perpetual blend (62% across vintages 2006 through 2018), adding greater body and complexity! Accordingly, the dosage has dropped from 8g/l to 3g/l… it’s a much drier and even more refined style of champagne. 92% of the base wines were fermented in stainless steel tanks and a small but influential 8% fermented in old, seasoned oak casks. Finally, it only went through partial malolactic fermentation to preserve freshness. If you’re already a Billecart-Salmon Brut NV lover… you’ll be even more inspired. If you are yet to experience this Famous & Elite Family Champagne House… get ready to be moved by your very fist sip!
