Description

One of the greatest ever Brut Vintages from Billecart-Salmon. Scoring hugely from knowledgeable critics like John Stimpfig (97 points), Roger Voss (95 points) and Jancis Robinson (18 points), this Champagne of "supreme balance" (DC) is a treat to all Champagne lovers with cellaring potential to 2040.

Decanter 97pts
A blend of 65% Pinot Noir consisting of Premier and Grand Crus from the Montagne de Reims and the Vallee de la Marne and 35% Chardonnay from the Cote des Blancs. Significantly, this has nine years ageing on its lees (longer than some Prestige Cuvees), the 2008 was first released onto the global market back in March 2019. With an Extra Brut dosage of 4g/l, this is a highly expressive, confident and convincing interpretation of the vintage. Right now, it is youthfully sharp and focused with fine salinity, depth, acidity and balance, and as such is already extremely approachable. The flavour spectrum encompasses toast, oyster shell, citrus, cream and a flinty, mineral depth. There’s supreme balance and elegance here, combined with a hidden underlying power that will continue to emerge and broaden with time. The finish is dry and long.
