Product Highlights
75% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay. The latest release of Billiot's NV Brut Réserve Grand Cru offers up aromas of crisp yellow orchard fruit, mirabelle plum and clear honey. It is medium-bodied, taut and incisive, with a racy spine of acid that reflects this producer's non-malolactic style, a pinpoint mousse and a mouthwatering finish.
Expert Reviews
Reveals ripe cherry and black plum fruit flavors that are well-spiced and married to racy acidity and a fine, chalky texture. Rich hints of smoked almond, candied ginger, honeycomb and verbena gain momentum to linger on the finish. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Disgorged July 2021. Drink now. 225 cases imported.

The NV Champagne Reserve Brut is 75% Pinot Noir and the rest Chardonnay from the 2016, 2017 and 2018 vintages, raised in stainless steel and on lees for 36 months. The nose is pretty and pure, with fresh grapefruit, delicate red berries, and white flowers. The palate is approachable though it has nice tension to it, with orange pith, tangerine, bread dough, and a touch of saline. It cleans up nicely and is a snappy, refreshing style to drink as an aperitif. Drink over the next 10 years.
