Champagne Billecart Salmon - França 1.5 Lts Espumante

Description

Right then, let’s have a look at this one. This Billecart Salmon, straight from Champagne itself, quietly demonstrates that refinement doesn’t *need* to be a stuffy affair. You get hints of ripe pear and toasted almond, likely thanks to a little time spent with the yeast, but beneath that, a wonderfully lively acidity and persistent bubbles keep things remarkably youthful – quite the contrast for a wine with such a classic reputation. It’s a brilliant blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, delivering perfect balance, and frankly, a wine that’s happy to just gently kiss your tongue with a restrained sweetness – perfect with seafood, or, if you’re feeling particularly adventurous, a good brie.
