Critic tasting note: (2006 vintage) "Light golden yellow; very fine mousse. Delicate nuances of red cherry, yellow plum, hints of caramel and white peach, a touch of baby banana. Juicy, round and creamy on the palate, discreet fruit expression on the finish, subtle orange echo, rather timid acidity, thus even as zero dosage it seems a little sweeter and more opulent than expected, discreet salty note on the back palate." - Falstaff

- Producer Tasting Notes
-
The yellow colour has soft golden undertones, naturally enhanced by a fine, dynamic effervescence. A shining, very radiant effect that brings out the full potential of nine years of maturation in our ancestral chalk cellars. Palate: A nervy, charming, tactile delight (chestnut cream, fresh blueberries and shortbread), emphasized by a delicate texture. The wine rises to a distinguished complexity with a persistent finale, crisply structured by the high-quality potential of such a sought-after vintage. Aroma: The delicious intensity of precise fruit with citrusy and nutty notes (grapefruit pulp, slivered almonds). A nuanced sensory development built around pastry scents (raw butter, white fruit jelly). A masterful aromatic expression with a refined, refreshing purity. Tasting: A deeply sculpted vintage with a noble, exquisitely distinctive character. Enjoy to the fullest with red tuna, papaya and avocado, or with pan-fried foie gras, peaches, verbena, rhubarb and verjuice.

Reifes Gold; hübscher Reifefirn, Vanille und andere Backgewürze, Mirabelle; vollmundig, reif, hübsche Bitternote im recht langen Finale. Hat in einem Jahr deutlich an Reife gewonnen und etwas an Cremigkeit verloren, darum besser jetzt geniessen, zu Hartkäse.
2006 Vintage
Tasted: Oct 2016
Wow, this smells rich with spiced mushroom and savory woody notes, as well as hints of some peaches, melon and candied orange rind ahead of light berry pastries – really complex and still unevolved. The palate's packed with expressive pinot characters of cherries and fresh mushroom flavors. The tannins are what frame and drive things along and a surge of central acidity keeps it all nice and fresh. Very satisfying Champagne here. Drink this now and through the next decade; it has plenty to offer. Three-quarters of this 2006 comes from Montagne de Reims pinot noir with the remainder chardonnay from the Côte de Blancs.
2006 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2015
Billecart-Salmon's style is dry, so an Extra Brut will be almost bone-dry. This wine is crisp and tight, bringing out grapefruit and citrus flavors and a steely, mineral character. It is still young, with freshness dominant, and needs to mature to blossom into a very fine Champagne. Drink from 2018.
