Billecart-Salmon Brut Sous Bois

95 points Wine Enthusiast

“Fermented and aged briefly in wood, this is dry, intense and toasty while still giving space for white fruits and some citrus. Richly endowed, spicy, and tangy, its structure and tight texture mark it out as a Champagne for long-term aging. The aftertaste is brisk, packed with acidity and with reminiscences of the oak-aging in the vanilla finish.”

“Beautiful aromas of light butter, dough, cooked apples and apple purée. Full-bodied and very rich with plenty of fruit, intense nut, and light toasted oak. Very structured. This is decanted in cuve and then racked into bottles and fermented in old oak barrels for eight to nine months. Battonage and malo blocked. One third of each grape type: chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier. About 10,000 bottle produced. This will age really well.​”
