A Bubbly Celebration

Billecart-Salmon
Brut Rose
$65
Jen’s Notes

This wine shows strong, small bubbles and a beautiful, light, well.... one hates to say it, but.... salmon color. The aromas include citrus and the barest hint of toast. On the palate, it is quite dry, but complex and full of intriguing flavors. Initially, it is yeasty and toasty, but as the wine opens up, these give way to florals, licorice and intense chardonnay fruit (if apples could aspire to be something more beguiling than apples, this would be it). The acidity is bright and zesty, tempered only by the wonderful flavors and a slightly creamy mouthfeel.

This absolutely delicious sparkler is suitable for the most special of occasions, such as you and your beloved's first apartment together (which is exactly what we celebrated).
