BILLECART SALMON Brut Champagne Billecart Salmon NV
Lovely aromas of raspberries, gingerbread, toast and honey on the nose. I like the generosity and concentration of flavor on the palate, with a medium body and soft, creamy bubbles. Long finish. 43% meunier, 29% chardonnay and 28% pinot noir, with over 50% reserve wines. Blend of 15 vintages, with percentages based on the 2020 vintage, back to 2006. Delicious now.
Taittinger Prelude Grands Crus Brut Champagne
Taittinger Prélude Grands Crus is a refined and expressive Champagne crafted exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards. With a brilliant pale yellow hue and silvery highlights, fine persistent bubbles form a delicate, creamy mousse. The nose is fresh and subtle, evolving from mineral notes to green, floral aromas with hints of elderflower and gentle spicy cinnamon. On the palate, vibrant citrus fruit leads into a fuller, well-bodied mid-palate with nuances of white peaches in syrup, finishing long, rich and expressive.
