Billecart Salmon Grande Cuvée 1996

Tasting Notes

In Asia 09/09 - The nose is an enticing melange of floral and earth aromas with a dollop of savoury: jasmine, slate, white pepper, freshly baked bread and marmite. The palate is very dry, very tight and seems to be restraining an explosion of fruit and autolytic expression. Crisp acidity and very fine bubbles. Very long minerally finish. Drink now to 2020+. Tasted May 2009.
