Memorial Day @ Chez Bobo

The Champagne has been flowing since Boboette was born and today we popped a bottle of H. Billiot, Champagne, Grand Cru, Brut Reserve, NV. The color was golden and the nose seemed pretty tight. In the mouth the wine was creamy and rich, yet very elgegant. This is my first bottle from Billiot and it was really impressive. Billiot is located in Ambonnay and the domaine only uses fruit from this village. Serge Billiot does not filter his wines and adds almost no dosage. This Champagne, roughly 80% Pinot Noir, is the best I have had in a while.
