Regarding the Champagne Billecart - Salmon N°4 Chardonnay Extra Brut
Champagne Billecart-Salmon N°4 Chardonnay Extra Brut is a fourth rendez-vous. The "Rendez-vous" from Maison Billecart-Salmon were created to honor an exceptional terroir and a Champagne grape variety, combined with the art of winemaking at its most demanding.
This fourth event highlights Chardonnay from Mesnil-sur-Auger, a historic Côte des Blancs terroir classified as a Grand Cru, from the fine 2015 vintage.
After 70 months of slow aging, selective work based on the notion of purity and balanced flavors, and a low dosage of 3.9g/l, we discover a champagne marked by beautiful tension and mineral purity.
This single-varietal, single-terroir Grand Cru Champagne offers fine, persistent bubbles. The nose reveals floral and white fruit notes. The palate is complex and saline, with a chalky feel. The finish is delicate, with notes of almond milk and bergamot.
This fine prestige cuvée can be kept for 5 years. Delicious with scallop carpaccio, sea urchin or veal tartar.
