A Champagne from the Billecart-Salmon house – a blend of 37% Chardonnay, 33% Pinot Noir and 30% Pinot Meunier, using 70% Reserve wine. A very fine mousse of tiny bubbles and a pale golden colour in the glass. Perfumed with pear, white peach, plum, citrus, nougat and fresh bread dough – a classic Champagne aroma. Light bodied with fresh, zesty acidity and a peppery mineral streak through the middle. Dry, with a refreshing energy and vitality that makes it a great aperitif but also takes you through to the dinner table. 92pts
