Joyful aromas of apple blossom and ripe pear.

Its remarkable fruitiness might be tied to the firm’s long, slow, cool fermentations, which, they believe, allow meunier to maintain its perfume. This is a graceful, vinous Champagne with dramatic high notes of roses and red fruit, finishing clean with a grounding of pale earthiness. It’s a lovely prediction of what Champagne might become in a warming climate.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWS91\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWine Spectator\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA harmonious Champagne that's satiny in texture, framing flavors of Asian pear, star fruit, pastry and honey with mouthwatering acidity.

This looks like a superior main entree wine.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJS91\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJames Suckling\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlenty of ripe strawberries and wild raspberries on the nose here.

That is balanced by the apple and crisp citrus-fruit flavors coming together in a vibrant, textured wine.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRP90\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRobert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Billecart-Salmon NV Brut Réserve is a blend of 40% Pinot Meunier (sourced in the Vallée de la Marne and the Coteaux Sud d'Epernay), 30% Chardonnay (from different villages along the Marne) and 30% Pinot Noir (from the Montagne de Reims and the Grande Vallée de la Marne). The recent disgorgement from January 2018 is straw-yellow in color and based 40% on the 2015 harvest, with 60% of reserve wines. The result is a light and delicately fruity flavored cuvée with aromatic and spicy Pinot Meunier and redcurrant aromas intertwined with chalky expressions and notes of ripe pears and yeast. Round and fresh on the palate, this is a light, finessed, elegant, very delicate and harmoniously fruity Brut with a stunningly intense, persistent, well-structured and purely salty finish. Very stimulating as a soloist, aperitif or with lighter dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Billecart-Salmon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42975990350048,"sku":"110373","price":58.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/billecart-salmon-brut-champagne-r-serve_f51a2176-44c0-44cf-ab88-fdf192ce4440.jpg?v=1663883281","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/billecart-salmon-brut-champagne-reserve-375ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
