The Vintage 2004 from Billecart-Salmon is an Extra Brut, that is to say, a champagne which is very lightly dosed. The blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay is partly vinified in oak barrels which have already seen several wines so that the wood does not have too strong an influence.
The Billecart-Salmon Vintage 2004 has a robe all in nuances of gold, with a starburst of fine, energetic bubbles.
It presents pure, fresh aromas of apple, citrus and dried fruits with pastries and honey on the complex second nose.
In the mouth the attack is smooth and full, with good structure and volume.
Deliciously fruity with a delicate minerality, the Billecart-Salmon Vintage 2004 is a vintage champagne marvelous for a cocktail reception or to accompany fish dishes or risotto.
