Note: non-vintage doesn't mean it's the same every year. I had Billecart-Salmon before couple of times, it was very good. But this release is great. And under $60! Celebrating New Year outside of home, in French oversea department, it was a tough choice. Every supermarket, from tiny to huge, had an excellent selection of champagne. But after reading tasting notes, we selected Billecart-Salmon.
Light, crisp, with strong citrus notes, some extra berry mix and buttery (or avocado, your choice) finish. But it's impossible to describe this masterpiece. It should be enjoyed with appetizers or desserts, but wouldn't spoil any food.
If you want to try great champagne without mortgaging your home or raiding an IRA, try it. As far as I know, it's available in US under $100. You will like it. If not, well, tastes differ or maybe you don't like champagne at all.
