The fine mousse of delicate bubbles elegantly accompanies the glints of its gold color. A cuvée that will surprise you with its pure intensity of dry fruits aromas, almonds and fresh hazelnuts mixed with those of fruits of white flesh. The creamy sensation of the bubble associated to aromas of buttered brioche and mineral aromas. Persistent finish with a fresh and elegant sweetness.

This great bottle will make a perfect marriage with caviar or fine oysters but also with grilled fish and seafood.

Blend: 100% Chardonnay

	Tasting Panel
96 points	The prismatic nose on this stately beauty, aged on the lees for four to five years, emits by turn notes of lemon- lime, herbed shortbread, hazelnut skin, green pear, and a hint of green olive against a backdrop of chalky minerality, which also provides the framework for brushstrokes of yel- low plum, lime leaf, pomelo, young apricot, and blanched almond on the palate. The texture is supple, the acidity oh-so-pretty, and the finish salt-flecked. For the holiday season, the Billecart-Salmon Eco-friendly Champagne Bucket Gift Set, which includes a bottle of the wine, will be available exclusively at Wally's Wine & Spirits for $150.

93 points	The NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru is showing beautifully today, with aromas of confit citrus, pear, herbs, orchard fruits, pastry and brioche. Medium to full-bodied, it is round and supple with the delicate, bright tension that is the signature of Billecart-Salmon. Perfectly balanced and offering a vinous, toasty and elegantly long finish, it's based on the 2017 vintage with 23% from 2016.

93 points	The current release of the NV Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut is based on the 2015 vintage and pours a pale straw color. The nose is clean and pure, with a sun-kissed ripeness, and reveals fresh aromatics of candied green apple, lime, and bread dough. The mousse is elegant, and the wine is ripe, with a rounded feel, and fresh with ripe green apple, lemon-lime, and chalk, followed by a balanced and fairly long finish. It is straightforward, approachable, and classic. Best after 2022.

93 points	A biscuity, silky blanc de blancs that has very fine bubbles and aromas of lemon peel, sliced apple, fresh croissant and chalk. It’s elegant and beautifully balanced.
