Brut Rosé

The Brut Rosé is considered Billecart-Salmon's best-known cuvée. It is made from 40% Chardonnay, 30% Meunier and 30% Pinot Noir and spent 36 months on the lees. In the glass it shows a pale gold with a faint pink blush. The aromas range from red fruit and pomelo peel to peach, and on the palate it feels creamy and fine.

The finish is raspberry-scented, floral and fresh, the structure precise and balanced. That makes it versatile at the table: it works with wild salmon, lobster carpaccio or grilled chicken breast with summer vegetables. It is also a good choice with a dessert of red fruits. The house recommends a serving temperature of 8 to 9 °C. A slim, tulip-shaped white wine glass shows off the fruit and the delicate floral notes well.
