Wine Spectator

“A balanced version. Offers more savory mineral character upfront, with accents of brine, chalk and smoke leading to more subtle notes of baked plum, preserved lemon and beeswax that emerge through the creamy midpalate and firm finish. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Drink now through 2026.”

-AN. September 23, 2021

Highlights

Blend 40% Pinot Noir, 33% Chardonnay and 27% Pinot Meunier; nine years maturation in ancestral chalk cellars and disgorged with 2 g/L dosage. Aromas and palate present grapefruit pulp, yellow apple, brioche, honeycomb and raw butter, evolving to citrusy and nutty notes of slivered almonds, chestnut cream, fresh blueberries and shortbread, with brine, chalk and smoke accents and a persistent, crisply structured finish.

Billecart Salmon Extra Brut 2009 Champagne

An ideal blend allowing the personality of the Champagne region’s great Pinot Noirs to dominate, combined with the elegance and subtlety of Chardonnays and that signature touch of Pinot Meunier. The yellow color 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. 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. 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. A deeply sculpted vintage with a noble, exquisitely distinctive character.Blend 40% Pinot Noir, 33% Chardonnay and 27% Pinot Meunier.

Critical Acclaim

94 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Disgorged with two grams per liter dosage, Billecart-Salmon's 2009 Extra Brut Vintage is more giving and demonstrative than its 2008 counterpart, offering up inviting aromas of crisp stone fruit, yellow apple, brioche, honeycomb and warm pastry. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with a pillowy mousse and a generous core of fruit girdled by bright acids, it's seamless and complete. Indeed, such is its charm and persistence that I tend to prefer it, at least for now, to the 2008.

93 James Suckling

This is a big, rich wine with lots of strawberry and red-apple character. It’s full and layered with very pretty fruit. Caressing and fresh at the same time. A bit ponderous. 40% pinot noir, 27% pinot meunier and the rest chardonnay. First time with pinot meunier in the blend, helping to maintain balance in the hot 2009 vintage.
