Billecart-Salmon, Brut Réserve (Half Bottle)

Alcohol percentage: 12%

Area:
Billecart-Salmon are based at Mareuil-sur-Ay, just north of Epernay

Grape variety:
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier

Producer:
Francois Billecart has now passed on the family estate to his nephew Mathieu Roland-Billecart, the 7th generation. The whole business is geared to quality not quantity.

Maturity potential:
Perfect on release, but I do like the extra complexity gained if you keep it for up to a year

The Bottle Shop rating:
Compare our prices – I don’t think you will find this outstanding Champagne better priced in the U.K.
