Billecart-Salmon Extra Brut NV

Billecart-Salmon Extra Brut NV Pure and Natural Champage, case with six bottles.

A Champagne full of brightness and purity.

The Billecart-Salmon house was born in 1818 with the marriage of Nicolas François Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon. Remaining a family business today, the house strives to build upon the legend of Champagne with a philosophy of finesse, balance and elegance. With grapes sourced from a surface of 170 hectares, the majority come from the region of Epernay, home to the greatest vintages of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier grapes. Billecart-Salmon combines modern technology with nearly two centuries of tradition and the savoir-faire of their staff, forever striving for excellence.

Composition: Its innovating style remains faithful to the balanced charm of the three varietals from Champagne: 40% Pinot Meunier, 35% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay. No sugar has been added to the dosage.

Appearance: Pale and gold intensity enhanced by pure brightness. The mousse is energetic with an abundant ultra fine bubble.

Aroma: Complex and seductive aromas of dried fruits and brioche combined with floral notes. This is further enhanced by the subtle charm of lemon verbena. A precise, elegant and aromatic freshness accentuated by the expression of the quality of the composition.

Palate: Charming biscuity flavour and white fruits with a full and harmonious minerality resulting in a sensational balanced finish.

Serving: A new definition of a refined style. A surprising association with the finest dishes (veal carpaccio, scallops a la plancha and marinated raw fish with citrus fruits. Serve at 10-11°.
