Billecart Salmon Brut Sous Bois NV Review
Billecart Salmon Sous Bois is unique, complex, and by no means a typical Champagne. Fans of aged white wines will appreciate its rich, oxidative character. Everything about this wine is elevated: From grapes grown on premier and grand cru vineyards to all vinification taking place in oak casks to its lengthy aging — up to seven years on lees. While its oxidative nature is on the forefront, notes of fresh fruit are indisputable. Its savory character provides intrigue and electric acidity.
