Brut Rosé

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

The finish is raspberry-like, floral and fresh, the structure precise and balanced. That makes it versatile at the table: it goes with wild salmon, lobster carpaccio or grilled chicken breast with summer vegetables. It is also a good choice with a red fruit dessert. The house recommends a temperature between 8 and 9 °C. A white wine glass with a slender tulip shape shows off the fruit and the fine floral notes well.
