Champagne Billecart-Salmon Le Clos Saint Hilaire

Vintage: 1998
Description: 99 points Gilbert &Gaillard Golden colour with amber shades. Complex, evolving nose mingling jammy fruits, dried fruit and citrus (candied orange). Outstandingly balanced combination of vinosity, freshness, firmness, fruit purity and persistency. 95 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate The 1998 Brut Le Clos Saint-Hilaire emerges from the glass with an exotic array of intensely perfumed, candied fruit. The wine possesses gorgeous textural richness in a deep, layered expression of Pinot Noir. The mousse remains refined and very elegant all the way through to the deeply satisfying, resonating finish. The Billecart-Salmon house style is defined by class, elegance, and a sublime freshness to the wines. Long fermentations at cold temperatures with no malolactic fermentation are the rule at this small, family-owned property in Mareuil-sur-Ay.
