Billecart-Salmon, Blanc de Blancs Brut NV
CRITIC REVIEWS
Tamlyn Currin
An exceptionally elegant, silky and surprisingly delicate champagne. I was expecting power, but this is like a mouthful of shimmering ribbons. An unusual floral fragrance, like the elusive scent of lily of the valley in an early-morning garden. Rich citrus woven into baked pear, tingling with green-apple sherbet. The bubbles float over the wine like cashmere lace. Tremendous purity. And the wine develops in the glass in a way I was not expecting, becoming richer, more dense, beginning to taste of violets and fresh-churned pink clay, of bread-yeast starters and sleepy pools of candlelight. A poets champagne. (TC)

The NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru comes across as relatively soft and understated. Lemon, white flowers, spices and mint emerge gracefully from this feminine, attractive Blanc de Blancs. This is Lot L35200904011M. Disgorged September 2010. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2015.
