| Billecart-Salmon
NV Champagne Brut |
$32.99 | Champagne | ||||
| WinePros.com 93 (of possible 100), Reviewed 10/16/01 Near-clinical winemaking techniques, closer to the New World than traditional Champagne, produce a distinctive but extremely user-friendly wine style. Crystal clear lemon and ripe apple aromas are repeated on the crisp, almost crunchy, palate through to a long, translucent finish. Additional Info Almost equal proportions of the three Champagne grape varieties: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. |
