Billecart Salmon Brut Blanc de Blanc Grand Cru NV (6x75cl)

Description

The NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru is from Chardonnay grapes sourced in Avize, Chouilly, Cramant and Mesnil-sur-Oger. Based on the 2013 harvest plus 30% reserve wines and fermented in stainless steel, this blend opens with an amazingly pure but intense and deep bouquet with yellow-fleshed fruit aromas intermixed with chalky and lemony notes as well as hints of orange blossoms and iodine. Full-bodied and intense yet pure and finessed on the palate, this is a rich yet very precise and elegant Blanc de Blancs with a persistent structure and a long, dense, almost lush finish. This is lot L 196F889 45576 (disgorged in April 2018), tasted in November 2018. Wine Advocate 93
