Product Description
The Billecart Salmon Brut Rose is a delightful combination of 40% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir, and 30% Meunier, with 10% of the blend coming from red wine. This exquisite champagne is sourced from 100% Grand & Premier Cru vineyards, with Pinot Noir from Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, and it is based on the exceptional vintage of 2018.
Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 90
Based on the 2016 vintage, the new NV Brut Rose from Billarcart-Salmon has turned out nicely, mingling notes of red berries and plums with notions of peach, dried flowers and orange rind. Medium to full-bodied, pillowy and elegant, it’s bright and charming, with a generous core of fruit, racy acids and a pinpoint mousse. Giving and demonstrative, it’s already drinking well.
Anticipated maturity: 2020-2028
Vinous 92
(45% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir and 25% Pinot Meunier; 8 g/l dosage; L206454 17741): Pale orange. High-pitched red berry, orange zest and jasmine aromas, with suave mineral and smoky lees notes adding complexity. Spicy and precise on the palate, showing very good punch to its strawberry and bitter cherry flavors. Opens up smoothly with air and picks up a bitter rhubarb quality that lingers onto the long, tightly focused finish. This bottling showed more brawny character than many past renditions of this cuvee, but with no lack of vivacity.
