This bottle was in a perfect spot this evening. Soft but persistent mousse. Lovely acidity along with charming fruit. Hard to ask for more from this bottle.

Last tasted 7 years ago. After 60 minutes this opened up nicely. Light on its feet with nice balance and a persistent finish. In prime and will hold for 20 years. Delicious

Pale yellow, lovely graceful bubbles. Looks so appetising. On the nose a lemony, waxy, brioche and lemon butter. Palate wise intense still, proper French chardonnay mouthfeel, a Grand Cru Chablis that has never lost it's desire to be Champagne. Seriously romantic and such wonderful vinosity. Years ahead but perfect right now.

Quite good compared to the others I have had.Strong acidity and good balanced fruit. It even seemed somewhat young. The best glass was the last. The wine still has a short aftertaste. This particular bottle told me there is a long life ahead still.

Good fruit and acidity. Nice mousse still. A little sulfer in the aftertaste sometimes. It doesn't have a long and lingering aftertaste. Crisp, fruity and fresh is the impression. When you have the name of Billecart Salmon you should be able to do better and a otherwise good year.

Gourmetklubbens trettiosjätte middag: Tema: Inspiration från havet (Södermalm): (Disgorged November 2010, dosage 7 gr/l, 100% Chardonnay from Avize, Chouilly, Crémant, Le Mesnil sur Oger and Oger) Still a very light yellow colour with a stream of fine bubbles and with a still painfully youthful nose driven by gunpowder and minerals at first and then opening up showing hints of eucalyptus and flowers in a very wonderful way. Palate is a mixture of the fruitiness of the vintage combined with tight acidity and a long lime peel bitterness on the long finish. This was still very young and in need of more cellar time before opening up showing more maturity and will evolve for many years to come. This is a very good showing of 1999 vintage. Drinking the last glasses the night after it was just utterly delicious, this will probably be even better than now with a few more years in the cellar! (Best 2019-2029)

There's an amazing amount of fruit left on this wine for its age. Notes of apple, peach and stone fruit. There was a creamy, hazelnut thing going on as well. Pretty long finish. Great bottle.

Beautiful yellow colour with a golden touch. Nice mature nose. Yellow apples, walnuts, dark chocolate, pears, lemon pie, pie dough, dried apricots, peaches, minerals, with sweet lemons at the end... The taste is fresh, lively with nice acidity... Really good. Mature but will probably improve for a few more years.

Out of this world intense flavors of biscuity goodness, brioche, peach pit, silky and pure on the palate, fine bubbles, super long. What else could you want in a champagne. This is the yin to the '04 Bolly's yang tonight. Both great but different wines. Might give the nod to this BdB though. B&J's

Wrong picture of this bottle. It's the one with the older looking label but I can't seem to find it on CT.. This particular bottle had been kept a little to warm before I got my hands on it. Golden colour and very delightful to look at. Nose had what I feel is "The Billecart-Salmon" notes, just a bit more smokey because of the way it was kept. Over mature apple with a hint of some type of avec in the background. Taste and nose developed over the 2 hours it took to consume. It started of with being a little closed and then it just kept getting better. Long aftertaste and the flavors kept increasing. No real acidity, which for me does not need to be present in a Champagne to be a really good bottle. I would still buy this one, if kept properly.

I found most complexity in the first glass, which might have been notes of reductive nature. With some air these funky, yeasty notes evaporatef and the winebecame very focused, but also a bit simplistic. Excellent champagne with potential for sure! Judging from the cork, this was disgorged 3-5 years ago.

Wines & Steak in Toronto (Le Select Bistro, Toronto, Canada): Just so very crisp - the acid comes right at you on the initial sip and then slowly fades over time in the glass. Initial flavors are lemon and maybe even a bit of butter. Becomes soft and smooth with time and then I start to get a hint of toast on the finish. Great start to an evening.

Still a very good glass of BdB. Good Chardonnay fruit, chalk, brioche, hazelnut, lemon with quite high acid. Short aftertaste on day 1, but became longer on day 2. Seemed like some time still before it is ready. Good mousse.

En riktigt bomb till champagne, doften är nästan vulgär men ack så härlig med brioch, brända fat, krut, massa härlig kanderad frukt, marsipan och äpplen. smaken är juvlig men kanske är doften bättre än smaken på detta vin näsa 96 smak 93 så det får bli en 94. Lite av en håll-käften champagne att ta fram om man vill visa hur mycket smak & doft det går att trycka ner i en 750ml flaska.

Vilken underbar utvecklig sedan jag drack det senast. En kraftfull doft med röda äpple, marsipan, massor av mineral, citrus och lite nötiga toner. Väldigt bra balans med ren fin syra, massor av frukt och lång fin eftersmak med lite peppriga toner i slutet.

Excellent Champagne! Very fine Bl. d Bl. Nose is pure and lovely, powerful & big, with gunpowder and minerals, sweet tropical fruits and apples, brioche, almonds, and white flower perfume. On the palate this shows great balance, with signs of maturity showing, lovely stony minerals, brioche, citrus and sweet ripe apples, good length and fine acidity and balance. Lovely Champagne.

Liquid Farm / Chard Double Blind- Dallas (Classic Wine Storage- Dallas): Tasted non-blind as a starter wine to precede a 15 bottle chard double blind.

Man, some tough CT critics of this bottle. I thought it was a winner that evolved beautifully in the glass. Followed over a few hours. Rich, creamy mousse. Baked bread, raisin, green apple, rhubarb, flower petals and lemon zest. After an hour or so, started to pick up nuttiness and burnt coffee grounds. Later still, sweet ripe apple and other sweet fruit dominated. A treat.

After a few if not disappointing, then at least bland experiences from Billecart, this was a very welcome comeback on form. Young, but not painfully so, this is showing good intensity and classic BdB virtues. Very elegant and easy-drinking and still intriguing. Should evolve and gain complexity, but very enjoyable and quite giving now. (92-94)

Small bubbles, notes of lemon and hazelnuts, excellent depth of flavor with a relatively long finish for a sparkler. Pairs very well with food either for a lighter appetizer or a citrus driven dessert. Will likely age well for at least 3-5 years and probably longer, though just a guess as I have limited experience with aged sparkling wines.

WineFanatic Champagne Offline (Vancouver, BC): Light straw colour. Like the ’98 Pol Roger, this was tight at first and needed a solid 30min in the glass to open up. Fresh and very youthful chardonnay nose of citrus, flowers and salinity with just traces of autolytic notes developing after an hour in the glass. On the palate the youthful profiles carries on with crisp citrus and loads of acidity. This needs 3-4 years at least. Excellent. 90+

Billecart-Salmon tasting at Brown Trading Co. (Portland, Maine): An outstanding example of what to look for in a great Blanc de Blanc. Clean and crisp with laser like prcision and vibrant acidity supported by a depth of fruit flavors and minerality that promises to continue to improve with time sideways. Lean presently with weight and depth picking up in the mid-palate...a wonderful wine.
