Review

The distinctive Sous Bois style is inspired by oak-fermented parcels destined for Billecart’s top cuvées. It upholds the mandate of Billecart in freshness, tightness and elegance thanks to retention of malic acidity, charging it with drive and freshness, and with a swirling undercurrent of impressive richness. It sings with classic Billecart precision, while basking in the richness of barrel fermentation.

Review

A radiant crystalline yellow colour with a super-fine mousse. It displays terrific fresh lemon and orchard fruit scents. The palate has a creamy, caressing texture with bracing vivacity, leading into brioche notes on the finish. Great maturity and virtuoso use of oak.
