Limited edition cuvées are all the rage these days in Champagne, the latest in the fold being Billecart-Salmon which has just launched a new series of ‘pop-up’ cuvées called Les Rendez-Vous de Billecart-Salmon; wines where ‘when they’re gone they’re gone’. First in this series is No.1 Meunier Extra Brut which is a 3-crus 100% Meunier that is largely from the 2014 vintage and has spent 52 months on its lees – a wine that has come straight out of the House’s penchant for experimentation.
Billecart Salmon Les Rendez-Vous de Billecart Salmon No.1 Champagne 75cl is a sensual and sophisticated wine created using 100% Pinot Meunier grapes from the Marne Valley. Due to the purity and balance of the fruits, the grapes have undergone a careful selection process so that only the most premium are used. This wine truly reaffirms how pure Pinot Meunier should be.
