Description

Billecart-Salmon Brut Reserve NV

The Brut Réserve is a light, fine and harmonious champagne. It is made up of a blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Meunier from three different years and sourced from the best sites in the Champagne region.

Grape Varietals & Region: This cuvée contains 40% Pinot Meunier, 30% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay. 30% Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims and the Grande Vallée de la Marne. 30% Chardonnay sourced from the best Crus in the Champagne region. 40% Meunier from the Vallée de la Marne and the southern slopes of Epernay.

The overall composition of this cuvée has not changed much for almost fifty years.

Taste Profile: With reflections of straw yellow, this cuvée is recognisable by the finesse of its slowly rising bubbles and its persistent and plentiful mousse. A full and precise flavour followed by a fine freshness and a rich bouquet bear witness to the ageing of this cuvée in the House’s traditional cellars.

A nose of ripe pear with some touches of cut hay. Full fruit, but clean in the mouth.

Winemaking Process: Vinification in stainless steel takes. Malolactic fermentation is induced, ageing on less for 30 months in line with the Champenoise method, with 50-60% reserve wines.
