Profile & Story
Billecart-Salmon is a family-owned Champagne house that has maintained collaborative relationships with fine restaurants such as Maison Rostang in Paris for over two decades. Brut Reserve blends Meunier (43%) from the Vallee de la Marne and southern Epernay slopes, Chardonnay (29%) from top crus, and Pinot Noir (28%) from Montagne de Reims and the Grande Vallee de la Marne; it is vinified at low temperature in stainless steel with over 50% reserve wines and aged on lees for around 50 months.
Tasting Notes
Straw-yellow in color with fine, persistent bubbles; aromas of white stone fruit and florals with subtle biscuity undertones; a delicate texture on the palate with apple, crisp pear and citrus flavors, minerality, and a lasting finish.
Pairing Recommendation
An excellent aperitif that pairs elegantly with light, refined dishes; chef Michel Rostang recommends it with crab in ginger and creamy courgette sauce.
