About this product

Curated Billecart with provenance from Burgdy.

There's a buoyant, almost ethereal quality to this elegant Champagne, offering a rich range of blackberry pâte de fruit, crystallized honey, grilled nut and oyster shell flavors, set on a fine, chalky mousse. Long and mouthwatering, with a clean, citrus-infused finish. WS

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.

Lovely pour

Glad to report that it is still drinking well, delicate but in a rich, toasty house style. Solid pour.

Opened the Billecart-Salmon Cuvée Nicolas François Billecart Brut 2002 Champagne after a short decant. Probably best champagne I’ve had. Beautiful complexity with layered fruit, clear autolytic character, as well as some early tertiary flavours coming in.
