With reflections of straw yellow, this cuvee is recognisable by the finesse of its slowly rising bubbles and its persistent and plentiful mousse. A full and precise flavour followed by a fine freshness and a rich bouquet bear witness to the ageing of this cuvee in the House’s traditional cellars.There is a maturity with a touch of floral freshness for this cuvee, which expresses aromas of fresh fruit and ripe pears.
Balance and harmony combine together in this light and subtle champagne. Its blend is made up of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier sourced from the very best sites of the Champagne region. It is the ideal partner to delight your guests on every occasion, both as an aperitif and throughout the entirety of a meal.
"An uncommon blend of 40% pinot meunier and 30% each of pinot noir and chardonnay, with 40% reserve wines, fermented in a mix of tank and use of aged oak barrels. Deliberate choice of meunier is the key to its drink any time soon style, which combining elegance, finesse and great length."

"The BILLECART-SALMON Brut Reserve is the ideal partner for every occasion. It is perfect as an aperitif and can be enjoyed with a wide variety of dishes. It should be served at 8°. The tiny mousse tells a lot about the quality of this impressive Champagne. It is quite full in style, with flavours of white currants and a rich, but still bone-dry aftertaste. It is a perfect food Champagne, with structure and a good tension between richness and elegance."
