H. Billiot Fils N.V. Champagne Grand Cru Brut Rosé, Ambonnay

The wines from this tiny domaine in Ambonnay have been a staple in our grower Champagne department for over twenty years now. First it was the, somewhat temperamental wines from Serge Billiot that captivated us but now, now it is the wines from his daughter Laetitia that have us completely stunned by their amazing brilliance. This perfectly pitched Brut Rose is, in its place right now, the best we’ve ever experienced from this estate. Hands down. Supple, plump, exploding with sexy red fruits and cream smeared toast. Full in the mouth with sassy little bubbles that dance across the tongue leaving a stain of red fruit on the long, give-me-more finish. Damn, now I need another sip.
