Champagne Billecart-Salmon, Brut Réserve NV
Light, fine and harmonious, the Brut Réserve is a blend from three different years and sourced from the best sites in the Champagne region. The nose combines charming white and red fruits, whilst the palate is wonderfully fresh and forward, with some complex toasty notes from the lees aging. The champagnes of Maison Billecart-Salmon are revered around the world, and the majority of the grapes for the Brut Réserve come from a radius of 20km around Epernay, famed for its Grand Cru Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. "Highly aromatic and delicate, the nose has lovely red and orchard fruits, whilst the palate is wonderfully fresh and elegant, with some stony minerality. A benchmark Brut from Billecart-Salmon" Our note
Frerejean Frères, Premier Cru Brut NV
Frerejean Frères founders, Guillaume, Richard and Rodolphe Frerejean-Taittinger, started out making Champagne for friends and family, but word spread, and they went into business in 2005. The brothers take a fresh approach to Champagne, that respects traditional methods, but leaves room for innovation. Their Champagne is now sold in hand-selected outlets the world over, but have stayed true to a small-scale approach. Their signature wine is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir aged for a minimum of five years, producing an elegant Champagne that embodies the richness of the Frerejean Frères terroir. Low dosage and late disgorgement mean that it’s both balanced and generous. "A delightfully fresh nose – apples, almonds and crushed biscuits. The palate has a perfectly-judged mousse and the elegance of the fruit really shines. A great introduction into the art of Frerejean Frères." Dylan, Wine Guru
