Notes from Producer

In its continuous quest for excellence, Billecart-Salmon is constantly experimenting with new methods to further improve the quality of its wines. A range has been born from the fruit of this work to offer you a unique tasting experience. Precise, New, Bold, each new release will epitomise an exceptional terroir and a champagne grape variety as well as the art of a meticulous winemaking.

The No.3 takes in the three historic terroirs of Leuvrigny, Damery and Venteuil, where the Pinot Meunier varietal gives wine from this region its distinctive identity.

Appearance: A treat for the eyes that glistens and gleams, with a distinctive golden-yellow hue flecked with silver. Always with the customary stream of tiny bubbles, so perfectly channeled in the center of the glass.

Nose: Wonderfully balanced floral sensations (lime and grasses) combined with the summery scents of freshly-cut wheat fields (grain and straw). It will awaken your senses to refined notes ranging from crisp fruit to juicy citrus. A highly delicate blend through which the character of the Pinot Meunier subtly reveals itself.

Palate: A sensual textured mouthfeel leading to an indulgent fluidity that blossoms into deeply delicious, fruity notes (white cherry, pineapple and yellow plums). The blissful sensation of reaching a certain pleasure point, of flying high with senses elevated and honed. Finally, a finish that is just as enjoyable, lengthening to notes of white pepper with a pleasant tartness of yellow fruit.
