2015 Billecart-Salmon 'Le Rose' Champagne, France
The 2015 Billecart-Salmon Rosé is a rare, vintage Champagne, a rich and complex blend (52% Chardonnay, 48% Pinot Noir) known for its coppery hue and flavors of wild strawberry, red currant, and blood orange, with extended aging (98 months) lending spice and almond notes, making it a sought-after, powerful yet elegant expression of the vintage. It's considered a standout release, displaying Billecart's signature finesse alongside the 2015's intense fruit and depth, often described as having exotic spices and a long finish.
