Champagne Billecart-Salmon Brut Réserve NV Review
One of the most expressive and textured non-vintage Champagne bottles out there. It’s reasonably priced — comparatively — delivering some serious bang for your buck. This wine is a blend of 30 percent Pinot Noir, 30 percent Chardonnay, and 40 percent Pinot Meunier vinified in stainless steel tanks and aged on the lees for 30 months. It's very mineral-driven with crispy bright fruit vibes on the nose. The palate is creamy yet somewhat austere, allowing it to fit many different palate preferences.
