Billecart Salmon - limited vintage releases







2002 Billecart Salmon Cuvee Francois Billecart...$186.99
his has amazing clarity with sliced pear, mineral, apple, hints of cream and perfume. It's tight, subtle and shy on the nose. Full body, yet very fresh and precise with layers of ultra-fine tannins and a long, long finish. 60% pinot noir and 40% chardonnay; 20% fermented in barrel and 20% no malo. All about intensity, finesse and focus. So structured and firm - it has the structure of grand cru like Batard-Montrachet.
Rated 97/100 James Suckling
Rated 96/100 The Wine Enthusiast

1999 Billecart Salmon Cuvee Francois Billecart...$99.99
Very elegant, ethereal in texture and well-knit, offering flavors of poached pear, black licorice, lemon pâte de fruit, pastry and ground ginger. Shows fine balance and integration, with a fresh, lasting finish of ripe fruit and saline minerality. Drink now through 2027
Rated 95/100 The Wine Spectator
