{"product_id":"nv-billecart-salmon-le-reserve","title":"NV Billecart-Salmon Le Reserve","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the new face of Billecart-Salmon's non-vintage offering, and it is a significant step up from the 'Brut Réserve' of old.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe house has revolutionised their entry-level cuvée, extending the lees aging to a massive 50 months and dropping the dosage to just under 4g\/L. This moves it firmly into 'Extra Brut' territory, stripping away any excess sugar to reveal the crystal-clear purity that Billecart is famous for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blend is built on a backbone of Meunier (around 43%) from the Vallée de la Marne, which provides that fleshy, radiant fruit core. This is framed by Chardonnay (29%) for finesse and Pinot Noir (28%) for structure. Crucially, the blend now includes a huge proportion of reserve wines - often upwards of 60% - which adds layers of brioche and spice to the fresh fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it is precise and ethereal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A fine straw-gold color with great finesse of bubble flow and mousse.
