Brut Rosé

The Brut Rosé is regarded as the best-known cuvée of Billecart-Salmon. It is made from 40% Chardonnay, 30% Meunier and 30% Pinot Noir and spent 36 months on the lees. In the glass it shows pale gold with a faint pink shimmer. The aromas range from red fruit through pomelo peel to peach, and on the palate it is 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 dessert of red fruit. The house recommends a temperature between 8 and 9 °C. A white wine glass with a slim tulip shape shows off the fruit and the delicate floral notes well.
