>Aged for 89 months on the lees, this is an absolute symphony of pomelo, blueberries, cherry bakewell, hazelnuts, lemon cream, flaked almonds, Abernethy biscuits, white peaches, apple pie, brioche, honeycomb, oranais aux abricots, and buttered toast with greengage jam. But you would expect nothing more from such a wonderful Champagne house, in such an “outstanding” (Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate) vintage for the region.

So, make sure you don’t miss out on the intense and seductive Billecart-Salmon’s Vintage Champagne 2013.
