Billecart-Salmon Extra Brut – Le Réserve
Champagne, France
Produced by the historic Billecart-Salmon, Extra Brut Le Réserve is a precise, terroir-driven Champagne that showcases the house’s signature elegance with a drier, more mineral-focused profile. Crafted for purists, it highlights purity, tension, and finesse.
A bone-dry, crisp, and highly refined Champagne. Linear and precise, emphasizing freshness, minerality, and clarity over richness or dosage.
Appearance:
Pale straw with fine, persistent bubbles.
Nose:
Fresh and restrained. Aromas of citrus zest, green apple, pear, and white flowers are layered with chalky minerality and subtle notes of almond and brioche.
Palate:
Light-to-medium bodied with razor-sharp precision. Flavours of lemon, grapefruit, and crisp orchard fruit are supported by vibrant acidity and a creamy yet taut mousse. Mineral and saline notes dominate, offering exceptional definition and purity.
Finish:
Long, dry, and incisive, with lingering citrus, chalk, and a clean saline edge.
A classic blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier, crafted with very low dosage to allow the natural expression of the fruit and terroir to shine.
