The NV Brut Blancs de Blancs is a very pretty, classy wine. Citrus, white flowers, slate, crushed rocks and white pepper abound. This vibrant, steely NV Blanc de Blancs is quite impressive, and also demonstrative of the new style at Billecart-Salmon. This release is based on 2017, with 23% reserve wines from 2016. It was done entirely in tank, with partially blocked malolactic fermentation. Dosage is 1.2 grams per liter. Disgorged: second trimester 2023. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, March 2024)

Outstanding. Lemon. Mineral. Floral. Again and again, with oysters.

An immaculately golden color in the glass with vigorous perlage. At first the nose is resplendent with floral aromas. Just so, so very pretty. Freshly baked bread, lemon peel, and just the faintest hint of cinnamon. Stone fruit, mint, and rosemary to boot. Pure Chardonnay from the four Grand Cru villages of Mesnil, Chouilly, Avize, and Cramant. Aged for up to five years on lees with a dosage of 8 g/l. Exquisite and as graceful as a ballerina, this is easily one of the best NV Blanc de Blancs around. Silky smooth but with tension and excitement for days. Exceedingly pure and vibrant. Let it sit for a while and those gorgeous floral accents begin to fade and the fruit becomes more noticeable. Citrus and stone fruits with a touch of pepper. The finish is long and lovely. I could drink this every single day.

Lovely subdued & restrained nose, with ripe lemons, more shortbread than brioche, cool & fresh limestone minerality, nice breadth & freshness. On the palate this has such a lovely creamy mouthfeel, ultra fine bubbles, tiny & persistent. Fresh, juicy acidity, ripe, sweet lemons galore. There’s tension, there’s depth, great complexity but also so elegant. Such a beautiful wine! Happy New Year!!
