Billecart-Salmon Description
Appearance: This cuvée, with reflections of straw yellow, stands out by the finesse of its slowly rising bubbles and its persistent and abounding mousse.
Wine Advocate: 91 Points
Based on the 2018 vintage, with 55% of reserve wines, the NV Brut Réserve from Billecart-Salmon is a blend of 40% Pinot Meunier, 30% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir, with a dosage of 6.2 grams per liter. It offers a bouquet with aromas of spring flowers, menthol, pastry, brioche, orchard fruits and pear. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is moderately weighted, with a delicate mousse and a perfectly balanced texture. Very charming. It concludes with a saline, aromatic finish. It represents the first stage in the qualitative evolution of the house, initiated by Mathieu Roland-Billecart.
Vinous: 90 Points
The NV Brut Réserve (2019 base) is a fine introduction to this range. Medium in body and quite gracious, the tasty NV Brut Réserve offers up hints of dried pear, spice, dried flowers, kirsch and chamomile. This is a big step up from what was the norm here a few years ago. This release is based on 2019, with 38% reserve wines going back to 2006. A touch of wood-fermentation (8%) works well here. Dosage is 3 grams per liter.
Wine Spectator: 89 Points
A dry, chalky Champagne, with hints of biscuit, lemon curd and white peach. Medium-bodied, with a fresh finish. Drink now. —Alison Napjus,
