Billecart-Salmon Le Blanc de Blancs NV (75cl)

A non-vintage Champagne from Billecart-Salmon, made entirely from Chardonnay grown in Grand Cru vineyards of the Côte des Blancs: Avize, Chouilly, Cramant and Mesnil-sur-Oger. The wine is fermented in stainless steel, with reserve wines making up roughly 20 to 50 per cent of the blend, and spends about four to five years on the lees. It is best served at around 8 to 10°C, as an aperitif or with sashimi, carpaccio and shellfish. Golden-green in colour, with mineral, buttery brioche, fresh butter, citrus and white flower notes on the nose. The palate is creamy, with chalk, meringue, fresh almond and citron peel, finishing fresh with a light salty note.
