Community Tasting Note

Friday, August 21, 2009 - While I enjoyed their Reserve Brut and especially their rose, this was the 1st time I was trying their BdB. I have to admit I was somewhat disapointed.This is not a bad champagne at all but this is a bold one, a big autolysis character and smokiness (hazelnut and almost caramel like).
To me it lacked acidity and doesn't have the finesse and elegance I'm used with Billecart. Also, it seemed that there was a lot of oak both on the nose and palate.
I don't know which 2 vintages went into that blend, maybe '03 was one and would explain.
Definitely a food Champagne.
