Billecart-Salmon
It all started here in 1818 when Nicolas François Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon were married marking the creation of their Champagne House. This has been a family story since the beginning with Louis Salmon brother of Elisabeth and a passionate oenologist getting involved in the creation of the wines. Thus over 7 generations each member of the family has endeavoured to continue the family tradition staying faithful to the same motto: Give priority to quality strive for excellence.
Description
Billecart-Salmon Brut Réserve exhibits a pale straw color with reflections of yellow. It has a delicate, persistent mousse and fine, slowly rising bubbles. The nose reveals aromas of freshly sliced Anjou pears, green apples, wildflowers, and lemon zest. On the palate, it offers a full and precise flavor, followed by a fine freshness and a rich bouquet, with notes of brioche, candied lemon peel, crystalized ginger, and pastry. The finish is long and persistent, showcasing the wine's elegant and nuanced texture.
Food Pairing
This champagne is versatile and pairs well with a variety of dishes. It is ideal as an aperitif and can complement a range of foods, from seafood crudo and sushi to light poultry dishes and creamy cheeses. The wine's crisp acidity and elegant mousse make it a perfect match for dishes spiked with ginger, tamari, chili, and five-spice powder.
