It’s Miller time. Well…actually Billecart time. I like this more than I buy it. One of good cuvées easily found in 375ml.
The body creamy, layered, nice c02, bruised golden & green apple, ripe Bosc pear, pineapple flesh, tropical melons-mango driven, lime & lemon zest, cream soda, cream, white spice-ginger, bread, yeast, brioche, soft but grainy moist chalkiness, sea spray/fossils, slightly chard sourdough toast, wet/softened alluvial, limestone, wet river stone, notes of flintiness, yellow lilies, white orchids, fruit blossoms, jasmine, rainfall acidity, excellent balanced fruit & earth, tension, structure with a juicy two-minute polished finish that falls onto beautiful minerality.
BTW, home grown tomatoes with Companion Bakery wheat sourdough, lightly toasted w/ olive oil, burrata, Tondo balsamic (stunning), olive oil & fresh basil never gets old.

I have bought this less than I like it.
Amazing with the toasted almond cake. There is a Yin & Yang with these two that is incredible.

Enjoying on our overwater bungalow in Bora Bora. Everything right, fun but not too memorable. Solid notes of toast, green apple brioche pear lemon biscuit. Nice balance solid acidity. Would try again but wouldn't search too far.

Jul 27th, 2019Sometimes overlooked for the (admittedly better) rosé, the brut is a great bottle every time. Especially if like me you like a hit of oxidative notes to compliment all that fruit and yeasty goodness. Mmm, bubbles 🥂🤤
