WTN: Billiot not so gruff

by David M. Bueker » Sun Apr 09, 2017 7:48 am

NV H. Billiot Fils Champagne Grand Cru Brut Réserve - France, Champagne, Champagne Grand Cru (4/8/2017)
The June 2011 disgorgement is in a fantastic place right now. It feels like it has gained richness since two years ago (last time I tried it), and has developed a creamy edge to the finish that lingers until the acidity clears it away. A toasted wheat bread note is starting to creep in around the edges of the red apple skin and lemon fruit. I have two more bottles of this disgorgement, and will try to get to them in the next several months. The wine is in too good a place to let it go by.
