Overview:
The Billecart-Salmon 2013 Vintage Champagne is a masterpiece that exemplifies the elegance of a sought-after harvest. Crafted from a prestigious blend of 62% Pinot Noir, 24% Chardonnay, and 14% Pinot Meunier sourced from 85% Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards in the Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs, and Vallée de la Marne, this vintage reflects the house’s dedication to excellence. Aged en tirage for over seven years and finished with an extra brut dosage of 3g/L, it combines richness and precision in perfect harmony.
Tasting Notes:
The bouquet is a sophisticated interplay of citrusy brightness and nutty undertones, with aromas of grapefruit pulp and slivered almonds mingling with buttery pastry and white fruit jelly. On the palate, it is both nervy and enchanting, with layers of chestnut cream, fresh blueberries, and delicate shortbread. Its texture is smooth and refined, leading to a finale that is persistently complex, crisp, and elegant. Perfect for pairing with gourmet dishes such as red tuna with papaya and avocado, or pan-fried foie gras complemented by peaches, verbena, rhubarb, and verjuice. A vintage of unparalleled distinction, ready to elevate any celebration.
