Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Based on the 2015 vintage and dominated this year by Mesnil sur Oger, Billecart’s NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru was disgorged in July 2021 with seven grams per liter dosage. Exhibiting aromas of citrus oil, tart stone fruit, freshly baked bread and white flowers, it’s medium to full-bodied, pillowy and layered, its sweet core of fruit framed by racy acids and chalky structure.

• James Suckling: A full-bodied sparkling with sliced cooked pears and apples. Dusty chalk and some mineral and stone undertones. Full-bodied with firmness and tightness at the end. Linear and compact on the palate. Tangy finish. Drink or hold.
