Blend of Cinsault and Grenache. Pale salmon/fuchsia color. Aromas of red cherries, hay, citrus and a hint of banana. Flavors of cherry, lemon and grapefruit with hints of lychee and melon. Long and chalky finish. Good balance and medium-minus body. Bright and refreshing! Solid rose’. — a month ago

Super light and refreshing. Good acid and aggressively bitter, reminiscent of ruby red grapefruit peel. Looks like a rose, but drinks more like an orange wine. Pairs great with Italian red sauce dishes. — 6 years ago

2024 vintage. A lighter style of Sauternes with much less residual sugar. Delicate, fresh and bright. This could be enjoyed as an aperitif, or with light curries. — 5 months ago

Prior notes continue to apply…

When we visited Billecart-Salmon in October of 2021, we received a tour of the stunning estate. Along the way, our guide, Jerome, paused near a traditional “Clos” (a single vineyard, enclosed by a wall) on the property. 

We could see a beautiful stone wall, surrounding a tiny 1 hectare parcel of “Clos Saint-Hilaire,” named after the Patron Saint & local church in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, where Billecart-Salmon is located. 

Although we didn’t go into the Clos, we learned about how special this parcel is to the family; how it’s exclusively planted to Pinot Noir with vines dating back to 1964; how work in the vineyard is performed by hand and horse-drawn plows; how this parcel is farmed according to an age-old savoir-faire, adhering to principles of sustainable viticulture.

The wine is pale gold with a prominent bouquet of yellow apple, Anjou pear, raspberry, lemon curd, white peach, white blossom, desiccated white rose, wet stones, biscuit, brioche, almond paste, marzipan, crusty croissant, pie crust, toast, creamy texture and persistent, fine-beaded mousse and long elegant finish.

This is a 2005 “Blanc de Noirs” Champagne, comprised of 100% Pinot Noir, all coming from Le Clos Saint Hilaire, vinified entirely in oak casks to lend texture and body, and aged over 13 years sur lie prior to its recent release.  Due to the vineyard’s small size, production is very limited, and wine only produced in the best vintages.

Cheers to beautiful wines expressing a singularity of time and place!

Slightly deeper colour than the 2019 and 2017 . More closed , quite rich summer fruits , touch more mineral . Pretty big and rich in the mouth , more powerful tannins , more masculine more wild and serious than the 2017 . Long and mineral on the finish . Needs time this may well close down but lots of promise . Quite mineral and saline on the rose and redcurrant tinged finish . Will improve over the next 10-15 years and last a further 10 . — 3 years ago

Purchased at the winery. We did a group day trip tour from Rome to Tuscany. It was March, but the vineyard and its Bose speakers was still a fun attraction. 4.5 years later, having survived a move, among other things, we finally decided to pop it.
Nose: crushed rose petals, children’s cherry robitussin, bittersweet chocolate, forest floor after a campfire nearby.
Palette: raspberry & cherry, leather glove, velvety tannin that is pretty chill. Lighter body compared to other brunello, what sometimes is referred to as “elegance” honestly, kind of like Mozart (where other Brunellos can be like Wagner or something more modern) hehe.
Finish: menthol on the finish

Really floral on the nose- rose bushes? Maybe some saltiness too. Minerality on the palate but also cherries, floral, a bit more savory than fruity. Some acidity and medium body. — 5 months ago
