Billecart-Salmon Vintage 2013 [WE 94]

"A finely textured Champagne, this is definitely dry, still young, and with great potential. The wine's minerality combines with the texture to give both tension and richness. So it needs to soften further to be ready to drink from 2025. Roger Voss" - 94/100, Wine Enthusiast. Winemaker Notes Pale gold in color, with glinting flecks of soft yellow and a natural light sparkle. Deliciously fruity intensity with elegant notes of nuts and stone fruits (fresh hazelnuts, pomelo flesh). Prolonged and nuanced development of exquisite notes of baked goods (raw butter, lemon cream). A superlative aroma, with a refreshing and sophisticated purity. A charming mouthfeel with a delightful tension and notes of blueberries and cherry clafoutis, intensified by the delicate, creamy texture of a slow second fermentation. The wine rises to a distinguished complexity and enjoys a lingering, delicately structured finish. A noble and distinctive vintage with excellent depth. Enjoy with bream ceviche, citrus fruits and avocado or pan-fried foie gras, peach, verbena and rhubarb. Blend: 62% Pinot Noir, 24% Chardonnay, 14% Pinot Meunier
