    Tasting Notes:
    A soft yellow hue with a golden shimmer, naturally underlined by an abundant and dynamic effervescence.  

    Delicious, enticing and seductive fruit intensity with elegant notes of orchard fruits, nuts and citrus fruits. A pure and nuanced sensorial development brought from gourmet notes of marzipan, fresh pineapple and greengage plums. A beautiful definition with an aromatic expression, presenting a fruit maturity consistent with careful cellar ageing. 

    On the palate, a subtle richness of flavours (white and yellow stone fruits, mandarin zest and citrus flavours), amplified by a precise and distinguished vinification. The wine offers the unique dimension of a harmonious texture, bringing a balanced depth of taste and flavour. The finish is chiselled and persistent with an ageing potential worthy of a great vintage champagne.

    Extra Brut Dosage: 4 g/l
     
    Grape Variety:
    The blend allows for a beautiful dominance of the personality of the great Champenois Pinot Noir (Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, Aÿ and the Montagne de Reims - 75%), tempered by the elegance and subtlety of the Côte des Blancs Chardonnay (Avize, Cramant, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Chouilly and Vertus).
     
    Serving:
    A charming and elegant vintage, enjoy with exceptional fish dishes, shellfish, the finest hams, risotto...

    Serve at 10-11°C
      
    Background Information:
    Billecart-Salmon, a medium-size Champagne House in Mareuil-sur-Ay, was founded in 1818 by the original owners Nicolas Francois Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon who combined their names on marriage to create the brand. It is one of the few remaining Champagne houses to remain family owned.

    Most of Billecart-Salmon's fruit comes from a small vineyard holding, though this is supplemented with grapes bought in from the Marne Valley and the Montagne de Reims. Meticulous production techniques, from the use of their own cultured yeast to its long, slow, cool fermentation, ensure that the family has 100% control of production. 

    Billecart-Salmon is renowned for the quality of its delicate Rose, whilst the Brut Reserve (a blend of three vintages) is a beautifully harmonious and balanced wine. All have the ability to age very well.

    The Cuvee Nicolas-Francois Billecart 1959 won the title in the Champagne of the Millennium 1999, out of 150 of the finest 20th Century champagnes. A magnum of the winning champagne later sold for £3,300.
