Billecart-Salmon, Brut Réserve
£48.00
Description
Alcohol percentage: 12%
Area:
Billecart-Salmon is based at Mareuil-sur-Ay, just north of Epernay, in the heart of Champagne.
Grape variety:
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier
Producer:
Francois Billecart still runs the family estate. The whole business is geared to quality not quantity. One of the keys to their success is that the non-vintage wine uses up to 25% of ‘reserve wine’ (mature wines used to balance out the latest harvest). And those reserve wines are all kept to mature in magnums.
Maturity potential:
Perfect on release, but you gain a layer of biscuity complexity for each extra year you keep it.
The Bottle Shop rating:
One of the most quality-conscious houses in Champagne. Very dry; fine and delicate. And our price is very competitive.

“I was a customer of the shop before I worked here. It’s the personal touch people come for. It’s what makes them come back.”
