A brilliant, linear champagne with beautiful citrus purity . The lemon notes are concentrated, with a subtle toast and a hint of cherry on the finish. It's a refined champagne, sculpted by invigorating acidity. Beautifully balanced with a fresh finish, it's a superb wine!
Made exclusively from Grands Crus from the iconic terroirs of the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs.
93/100 pts DECANTER “At its peak from mid-2024, but it already shows ripe clementine and juicy apricot fruit, warmed by ground walnuts and fragrant raspberries… This is the most impressive of Billecart’s recent vintages. Drink between 2024 and 2030. ” Tom Hewson
