Thursday Tasting:
Billecart-Salmon Champagnes
5 to 7pm
At the Bar

Join us Thursday, March 14th as we welcome Geoffrey Loisel, Director North America for Champagne Billecart-Salmon. He will be pouring five different selections from their portfolio including their classic Brut Rose and will answer all of your questions about this famous region. The tasting lineup is below:

"The Billecart-Salmon house style is defined by class, elegance, and a sublime freshness to the wines. Long fermentations at cold temperatures with no malolactic fermentation are the rule at this small, family-owned property in Mareuil-sur-Ay."
The Wine Advocate

NV Billecart-Salmon Brut Reserve
On Sale $49.99
"The Brut Reserve is a light, fine and harmonious Champagne. Its blend is made with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier from three different years, sourced from the best sites in the Champagne region."
Winemaker's Notes

NV Billecart-Salmon Brut Blanc de Blancs
On Sale $79.99
"This Chardonnay cuvee has been elaborated from the five grand cru vineyards of the Cote des Blancs: Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger. it is a blend of the two different years, revealing the special quality of the Chardonnay. Creamy bubbles, aromas of buttered brioche and minerals, and a long finish."
Winemaker's Notes

2004 Billecart-Salmon Vintage
On Sale $82.99
"Light, bright gold. Mineral-accented aromas of orange, white flowers, ginger and white pepper, with a leesy overtone. Juicy, penetrating orchard fruit and orange zest flavors gain flesh and and spiciness with air. Packs a solid punch but carries no excess weight and finishes with impressive clarity and chalky, mineral-driven persistence. I'd give this youthful Champagne a few years to unwind."
92 Points, Stephen Tanzer

NV Billecart-Salmon Brut Rose
On Sale $79.99
"Light orange. Tangerine, pear and flowers on the nose, which is complicated by a note of fennel. Broad and sappy but dry, with lively orange and strawberry flavors and a subtle note of spice cake. Weightier on the finish, which features an exotic note of spicy herbs. This Champagne's delicate touch will make it work well with simple seafood dishes or even sashimi."
92 Points, Stephen Tanzer

Winemaker's Notes
2002 Billecart-Salmon Cuvee Elisabeth Salmon Rose
On Sale $199.99
"This is a beautifully balanced, elegant and mature sparkler. There is fruit-ripe strawberry-but the main character is its fine balance and richness. It can age, though it is at its best now."
