I spent last night in Whitstable eating oysters and fish. Only one bottle of wine consumed, but it was pretty good.
Champagne Brut Reserve NV, Billecart-Salmon
A toasty, elegant nose. It showed a bit of maturity. The palate also showed a bit of mature complexity, and it really was quite complex for a non-vintage. Good length, nice power but very well balanced. One of my favourite non-vintage Champagnes.
