Producer tasting notes: (1995 vintage) "Appearence: A lovely colour of sparkling yellow gold veiled in luminous golden reflections. Palate: There is a balanced tension controlled by the blossoming of the wine (seeded and stone fruit, citrus fruit, warm madeleines) and embodied by the line of noble resinous flavours (spruce and juniper berries from Houlle). Aroma: Fine malted notes associated with orchard fruit (white peach, nectarine, Lorraine plum) refined by the purity of the complex mandarin zest aromas. Tasting: It will expose the flavours of a beautiful creamy, roasted poultry or a delicious slice delicious turbot in a creamy sauce." - Champagne Billecart-Salmon

Vintage quality: Good
Current condition: Ready to drink
The 1995 Champagne vintage was, overall, good.

The summer was warm and steady right up until early September which saw some rain. ...
