Published: Aug 31, 2022
Based on the 2015 vintage and dominated this year by Mesnil sur Oger, Billecart's NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru was disgorged in July 2021 with seven grams per liter dosage. Exhibiting aromas of citrus oil, tart stone fruit, freshly baked bread and white flowers, it's medium to full-bodied, pillowy and layered, its sweet core of fruit framed by racy acids and chalky structure.

Chalky aromas and dried white flowers with hints of lemon blossom and fresh pastry. The palate has a super fine feel to it. Dosage is nicely judged to coax out some depth in the citrusy, fresh-cut apple fruit. Finishes fresh, long and lively. Drink now.
Winemaker
This cuvee has been elaborated from the four Grand Cru vineyards of the Cote des Blancs : Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Mesnil-sur-Oger.
Tasting notes
This cuvee is a blend of two different years revealing the special quality of the Chardonnay. Its complexity, its great vinosity and the surprisingly fresh finish is particularly appreciated by the most informed wine lovers.
APPEARANCE: The fine mousse of delicate bubbles elegantly accompanies the glints of its golden colour.
AROMA: A pure intensity of dry fruits aromas, almonds and fresh hazelnuts mixed with those of white flesh fruits.
PALATE: The creamy sensation of the bubbles combines with buttered brioche and mineral aromas. It has a persistent finish with a fresh and elegant sweetness.
TASTING: Enjoy not only with caviar or seafood but also with grilled fish.
