From 33% to 40% reserve wines Ageing on lees: 4 to 5 yearsAppearance: An ultra-delicate effervescence which translates into an abundance of elegant bubbles. It is sparkling and elegant with a luminous yellow gold hue with glints of green.
Aroma: A very pure and mineral intensity with an uncommon typicity, releasing notes of brioche, fresh butter and lemony citrus fruits. A distinguished and subtle realm that delicately evolves with a remarkable finesse.Palate: A creamy sensation with a chalky and meringue texture, associated with nuances of fresh almonds and citron zest. A smoothness of great class which is chiselled and persistent.
Tasting: An exceptional fermentation with a chalky, mineral style which wonderfully accompanies Ossetra caviar or fine marinated sashimi.
Service temperature: 8°C.

Based on the 2015 vintage and dominated this year by Mesnil sur Oger, Billecart's NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru was disgorged in July 2021 with seven grams per liter dosage. Exhibiting aromas of citrus oil, tart stone fruit, freshly baked bread and white flowers, it's medium to full-bodied, pillowy and layered, its sweet core of fruit framed by racy acids and chalky structure.
