1996 Billecart-Salmon Grande Cuvée;
Pale golden, elegant bubbles. Apples, minerals, citrus, brioch. Beautiful mousse, more easy going and open than Charles Heidsieck, refreshing, lively and good length. 92
This one was served as an after snack, after the Port's. I have to say I much more enjoy Champagne during- and after the meal, than as an aperitif. On an often empty stomach when you arrive for dinner or a gathering, I find it to lean and acidic. I find that as an aperitif, white wine does the job much better for me. The bottle above was a perfect ending for a perfect evening. Thank you KK!
