Energy and precision define the 2013 Billecart-Salmon Extra Brut, with taut citrus and preserved-lemon brightness wrapped in creamy pastry, almond and stone-fruit depth. The low dosage lets its chalky, savory backbone show through, giving a long, finely etched finish that feels both refined and powerful. A touch of cherry and gentle toast add complexity as it opens in the glass.

Billecart‑Salmon Extra Brut (non‑vintage) is the house’s bone‑dry, precision cuvée—typically a blend dominated by Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir with a healthy share of Chardonnay—made with little to no dosage and extended lees ageing to produce ultra‑fine bubbles. It’s prized for its nervous acidity and stony minerality balanced by delicate brioche and white‑fruit notes, making it an elegant, food‑friendly Champagne especially suited to seafood and raw preparations.
