Billecart-Salmon Brut Nature tasting notes
A lush mousse lingers on a pale straw-coloured background tinged with pale gold that is threaded by an ultra-fine and very persistent lacing.
Aromas of baked bread and yeasty lees fill the nostrils, with notes of citrus and pear also present. Subtle notes of toast and toasted almonds.
Flavours of yeasty baked bread and citrus are sculpted and taut. Characterful toast, chalky notes and toasted almonds round out the second half. Finishes very dry and crisp with a chiselled feel and a long aftertaste.
