About this product

Curated Billecart with provenance from Burgdy.

Disgorged in October 2020 with seven grams per liter dosage, the 2008 Brut Blanc de Blancs Cuvee Louis Salmon is showing beautifully, unfurling in the glass with scents of crisp yellow apple and stone fruits mingled with dried white flowers, freshly baked bread, buttery pasty and mandarin oil. Full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it's a textural, racy, penetrating wine endowed with considerable cut and concentration. RP

Food pairing: A good marriage of food and wine ideally provides more pleasure than enjoying either one separately. As each of us have different sensitivities to various flavours and preferences, the definition of 'perfect pairing' varies, and this makes up the fun part of food and wine pairing.

Honestly — Fresh , complex and those extra flavors that build up in a magnum.

Order shipped fast — label and fill level looked right. Lots of solid 08 phenolic grip with backing acidity. Still quite youthful, but a little developmental richness emerging.
