Maison Billecart-Salmon's Vintage 2013 is an ideally crafted blend dominated by the personality of the great Pinot Noirs (62%), combined with the elegance and subtlety of the Chardonnays (24%) and that signature touch of Meunier (14%).
2013 was a particularly late cycle, but the radiant summer provided maximum sunshine and low rainfall, ideal parameters for the ripening of Chardonnays and Pinots. The autumn harvest produced elegant, fresh wines.
This cuvée has a pale gold hue with light yellow highlights, naturally enhanced by a fine effervescence.
The nose reveals intense aromas of fresh hazelnuts and pomelo flesh. It then reveals pastry notes of raw butter and lemon cream. A controlled aromatic expression of refreshing, refined purity.
The palate is taut and charming, with notes of blueberry and cherry clafoutis. The finish is persistent, with a chiselled structure.
This Maison Billecart-Salmon Vintage 2013 can be enjoyed to the full with ceviche of sea bream, citrus and avocado, or pan-fried foie gras, peach, verbena and rhubarb.
