Billecart-Salmon 2008 Vintage Extra Brut (Champagne)
Cellar Selection
Building on the structured Pinot Noir, often a hallmark of this producer's Champagnes, this wine is densely textured and full of white fruits from the Chardonnay. Still young, it remains on the fruit spectrum so wait until 2021 for the full glory of the maturity to come through. Roger Voss
