Light pink/salmon colour. Fresh appeal - with flowers, apples, peanuts and hints of apricot. Ballerina light on the palate – soft and pleasurable finish. Gaining of its drinking pleasure, but not a complexity treasure (87)

NV Billecart-Salmon Rosé, Champagne, France
A very delicate Champagne, with strawberry, apricot notes and light berries. Nice purity, good crispiness, fresh and a nice starter that could easily be drunk without food. However the complexity is fairly low and the mousse needs to be softer for me if to score higher. (88)

I have to say that my eyes rolled a bit when I saw this Champagne rated 94p by TWA. On top of that my good friend, Dennis – even rated it with the same appreciative score. But there is a reason for this. My previous four encounters with this Champagne have all been from bottles than was recently disgorged. I suspect that this is and older bottle as the label design could suggest it. This Champagne is absolutely stunning and a real bargain if you can find more of this specific lot. The nose is fresh, crisp and has hints of strawberry, sea food, popcorn and apples. The mousse is soft – sexy, precise and superb mineral balance. An excellent starter that could easily been drunk with or without food. (93)

Stunning N.V. Rosé – immensely drinking pleasure and this bottle was once again from the same lot (old label), which I guess have seen 4-5 years of bottle age. Popcorn, strawberry and a clean cut nose with dominate maritime notes. With some of the first antipasti seafood serving the match was perfect and the acidity was lively and had the beautiful Billecart-Salmon elegancy. (94)
