Billecart-Salmon Champagne Brut Le Sous Bois

Composition: This unique cuvée, entirely vinified in oak, is respectfully composed of the three champenois grape varieties. It totally masters the art of blending by renewing the ancestral spirit and savoir faire of the original Champagnes.

Appearance: A radiant yellow crystalline appearance with golden glints brought to life by a luminous bead of persistent fine bubbles. Aroma: There is an olfactory impact due to the richness of harmonious expressions (dry fruits, fresh citrus and white fruits) coupled with finely buttered seductive notes.

A defined aromatic undertone which expresses the mature complexity linked to the vinification in oak barrels. Palate: The caressing and refreshing texture enhances the creamy sensation, dominated by a beautiful bracing vivacity. A burst of flavours (notes of grilled brioche, toffee) thanks to the distinguished power an maturity which is a mark of the great wines of Champagne.

Its aroma brings out toastiness, while on the palate, the richness of the wine suggests maturity. It is a finely balanced wine, ready to drink now. 93 Wine Spectator Fragrant, with hints of graphite, cherry blossoms and spices, revealing a firm frame of vivid acidity […]. Shows a raw silk–textured mousse that carries a chalky note on the finish. 93 Wine Advocate Based on the 2016 vintage with 26% réserve wines from eight different vintages, Billecart-Salmon’s NV Brut Sous Bois exhales a delicate, toasty bouquet of mirabelle, tangerine, white fruits, ripe orchard fruits and baked bread, mingled with delicate notes of vanilla pod. Medium to full-bodied, round and creamy, it’s perfectly balanced with a vinous, fleshy core of fruit and a delicately toasty finish complemented with gastronomic bitterness. This blend of 48% Pinot Noir, 32% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Meunier was disgorged with two grams per liter of dosage. 93 James Suckling The bubbles are creamy and round with a long, energetic finish. Tangy. 93 Vinous In this tasting, it is absolutely delicious	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
