{"product_id":"billecart-salmon-le-reserve-6l","title":"Billecart-Salmon Le Reserve 6L","description":"\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eBillecart-Salmon Le Réserve is the house's refined non-vintage Champagne, created from Meunier, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced from carefully selected sites across Champagne. The current blend is based on 43% Meunier, 29% Chardonnay and 28% Pinot Noir, with more than half of the assemblage composed of reserve wines to provide depth and consistency. Vinification takes place predominantly in stainless-steel tanks at low temperature, helping preserve freshness, aromatic purity and precision. The wine spends approximately 50 months ageing on its lees before release, developing additional texture and complexity without sacrificing its light, elegant character. Presented here in the impressive 6-litre Methuselah format, it offers a striking large-format presentation with particularly strong ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLe Réserve is distinguished by fine, persistent bubbles and a pale straw-gold appearance that reflects the freshness of the cuvée. The aromatic profile combines crisp orchard fruit, fresh citrus and floral nuances with subtle biscuit and toasted notes developed through extended lees maturation. On the palate, apple and crunchy pear are joined by citrus, gentle roasted characters and a delicate vinosity, creating an appealing balance between freshness and concentration. Mineral tension carries the wine through a long and persistent finish, while the Extra Brut dosage keeps the overall expression precise and energetic. Billecart-Salmon recommends extended ageing for its Methuselah format, with the house indicating an ageing potential of approximately eight to ten years for this large bottle size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Fresh, precise and delicately floral\u003cbr\u003eBright white fruit, crisp apple and pear with fresh citrus, floral nuances and subtle biscuit notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Harmonious, concentrated and finely textured\u003cbr\u003eCrunchy apple, ripe pear and citrus are complemented by gentle roasted notes, delicate vinosity and a refined, persistent mousse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long, fresh and mineral\u003cbr\u003ePersistent orchard fruit and citrus taper into fine toasted nuances, mineral freshness and an elegant, energetic conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrand - Billecart-Salmon\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Champagne\u003cbr\u003eCountry - France\u003cbr\u003eSize - 6000ml\u003cbr\u003eTier - NV\u003cbr\u003eABV - 12.00%\u003cbr\u003eDosage - Extra Brut\u003cbr\u003eGrape Blend \/ Cépage - 43% Meunier, 29% Chardonnay, 28% Pinot Noir\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Billecart-Salmon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44328760246359,"sku":"BS-BR-6L","price":1299.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/7fc60561-e31f-47d9-bcb8-9337eb1b8fea.webp?v=1790070761","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/billecart-salmon-le-reserve-6l","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
