NV Baron Jacques Brut Blanc de Blancs

12 x 750ml
Brilliant stuff, Billon's 2016 Côte Rôtie Les Elotins is a blend of 97% Syrah and 3% Viognier that spent 22 months in once- and twice-used barrels. Deep, rich, full-bodied, and concentrated, it has more depth and richness than most in this classic, charming vintage. Saturated purple-colored, with terrific notes of cassis, blackberries, scorched earth, violets, and graphite, it hits the palate with a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, good acidity, and present yet sweet tannins, all of which give it a classic feel. Drink this balanced, layered 2016 any time over the coming 10-15 years. Read more

Huon Hooke - The Real Review

Sealed with a heavily soaked Mytik (Diam) closure. Light, bright lemon yellow; the bouquet muffled and shy, with a hint of lemon and a fruit-driven straightforward but fresh, clean and bright style. There's a dab of sweetness and the finish is firm and fairly dry, with a slight phenolic grip. Nice simple fruit style bubbly.

Tasting Notes

A value for money organic sparkling out of Burgundy with great length and finesse. This wine spends a minimum 9 months in bottle gaining complexity not usually found for this price. Beautifull golden robe. The nose is expressive with hints of flowers and citrus aromas. Well-structured and perfectly balanced with flavours of brioche and fresh butter
