Staff Pick Notes
For a house known for their high end cuvées and an equally stellar NV Rosé, Billecart-Salmon's, lush and creamy,
demi-sec flies low under the radar.
It's an equal blend of the 3 traditional Champagne grapes: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier.
The higher dosage level allows for an extra level of complexity and expands an already abundant number of pairing options.
