Billecart Salmon, Blanc de Blanc Grand Cru Champagne NV

Description

ABOUT THE WINE. A brand synonymous with some of the finest restaurants around the world, Billecart-Salmon is located in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and has been family owned since 1818. Made by the same cellar master for nearly 30 years, this cuvée is a blend of two different years revealing the special quality of the Chardonnay.. TASTING NOTES. Creamy lemon meringue with marzipan, lime custard and yeasty sourdough bread, layered with apricots and nectarines. An exquisitely complex Blanc de Blanc following 5 years on the lees.. FOOD PAIRING. The ultimate pairing would be caviar with blini and soured cream, but butter-seared scallops are exceptional with the toasty character of this Blanc de Blanc.. FRIARWOOD SAYS. Did you know that among Champagnes as prestigious as Krug & Dom Pérignon, a bottle of Billecart-Salmon was chosen as the Champagne of the Millennium in 1999?
