The champagne Billecart-Salmon Clos Saint-Hilaire, vintage 1996 from the winery Champagne Billecart-Salmon has been rated in 2021 by Anne Krebiehl MW with 99 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Pinot Noir from the region Champagne in France.
The faintest hint of salty maple syrup plays along with a hint of candlewax. At the same time, there is a pristine touch of greengage and fresh lemon zest. The palate intensifies that utter saltiness and hints at incredible depth. There is muscle and the electrifying, energising, life-giving and immortal acidity of 1996. This is like tapping into the very veins of Champagne and its very lifeblood. This is for adults only, razor-sharp, incisive, uncompromising and completely authentic. What a wine.
