Based on the 2020 vintage, this blend of 43% Pinot Meunier, 29% Chardonnay and 28% Pinot Noir, with 71% vins de réserve and 10% perpetual reserve, the NV Brut Réserve offers up aromas of spring flowers, herbs, blossoms, lime and brioche. Medium to full-bodied, tense and precise, with a crystalline texture enhanced by bright acids, this is a long, delicate and ethereal Champagne. It matured 8% in barrels and 36 months on the lees in bottle, followed by six months after disgorgement with three grams per liter dosage.

Billecart-Salmon’s style is characterized by elegance, purity and delicate freshness. Low fermentation temperatures are employed to preserve the purity and expressiveness of the fruit, while malolactic fermentation is systematically blocked to maintain the wine’s vibrant acidity. Since Mathieu Roland-Billecart’s arrival in 2018, the estate has expanded its barrel program, focusing on the best terroirs for cuvées like Brut Réserve and Brut Sous Bois, and has initiated biodynamic viticulture in Le Clos Saint-Hilaire. Drink Date 2024 - 2032
