October 25th – Champagne Billecart-Salmon, family House founded in 1818, reveals its Vintage 2016 after over five years spent in the cellars. 100% Grand Cru, its ideal blend allows Pinot Noir from Montagne de Reims to shine through, combined with the elegance and subtlety of Chardonnay from Côte des Blancs.
The Vintage 2016 exhibits a rose-gold hue with glinting flecks of soft green, naturally enhanced by a fine, dynamic effervescence. The nose is marked by a prolonged and nuanced development of baked goods (crepe dough and puffed cereals). On the palate, one finds a charming mouthfeel with notes of fresh pineapple and sudachi zest, followed by a persistent and finely chiseled finish. Indulge yourself and pair with a bream ceviche and citrus or a high-end Pata Negra ham aged 36/48 months.
