Billecart-Salmon Brut Rosé Champagne Blend NV
94 points - limited Billecart-Salmon Brut Rosé is one of Champagne's finest rosés when it's available! Elegant and focused with a fine bead, light salmon color, creamy texture and lingering finish. 94 points James Suckling: "An subtle nose with plenty of fine autolysis aromas of fresh bread and sweetly fragrant yeasty notes, plus some gentle spice and chalky notes. The palate unleashes beautiful wild strawberry fruit flavors, super fresh, fleshy and pure. Great balance and depth." 93 points Wine Spectator: "The Billecart-Salmon is a lovely rosé in an almost vinous style, with mouthwatering acidity and a fine, lacy mousse carrying appealing flavors of ripe raspberry, white cherry fruit, star anise, mandarin orange peel and honeysuckle. Lightly chalky on the lasting finish. Enjoy with food. Drink now through 2020." Billecart-Salmon was one of the very first Houses in 1954 to believe in a Rosé style in Champagne. Made with between 30-40% reserve wines. The dosage is 7-8 grams. This cuvée unveils a subtle aroma leading to an elegant, delicate bouquet of fine notes of red fruits and citrus fruit zest. On the palate, its special method of vinification gives a light, elegant flavor, followed by a fresh finish with a taste of raspberry." More at Champagne Billecart-Salmon

She is red-fruit forward, she has brioche touches and sea salt nuances on the nose. The palate is that sort of balance there isn’t a proper word for but gosh it’s there. Finishes slightly toasty with a zip of lemon and a squeeze of cranberry.

Champagne has gotten expensive lately. This is no different. But, it is my go to N/V Rosé. Seems I’m still willing to pay the large increase for it. Tis the season for garden tomatoes. So great with Burrata topped with olive oil & Tondo balsamic, (find it, the best), basil, served on olive oil brushed, broiled crostini’s made from Simple Sourdough made by Companion Bakery. From 375ml.

Very impressive. Subtly in a glass, with precision, lift and grace.

No complaints here - it was an apt night cap. Lovely energy to rejuvenate the palate, all without being too austere. Generous fruit core of apples, strawberries, citrus, and hints of preserved plums. Excellent with some Wagyu cold cuts.

Brilliant pink salmon color, fine bubbles, firm mousse, elegant aromas of fresh red fruits, with gentle citrus scents. Brut Rosé, a Romantic champagne, blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir vinified as red wine. On the palate graceful fruit flavors of fresh raspberries and ripe cherries integrated with slight spice and hints of chalky mineral, vivid acidity on the well balanced long finish ending with biscuit notes. Nice!

Reliably tasty and food friendly rose. My moms fave. Red berries, tangerine, restrained and pairs well with all sorts of savories including a trademark @Marissa Perlman charcuterie plate

It’s 1/2 bottle n/v Billecart evening. This is a more appropriate color of rose for the Rosé color of this champagne. My go to n/v Rosé Champange for a number of reasons…quality & 1/2 bottle availability are right up there. Blood orange, black cherries, Rainer cherries, lean strawberries, pomegranate juice, hints of raw rhubarb, grainy, grippy, sharp chalkiness, crunchy volcanics, limestone, sea fossils, baguette crust, deep white spice, orange lilies, peach roses, excellent, lively acidity with a rich, well balanced smart finish that starts clean, ripe fruits falling onto perfect minerality.
