Harvest was fairly late and the grapes were partially destemmed before fermenting using a gentle extraction and ageing in cask for a year

and just the right combination of fleshy and lean

meaty tones as well

with a finely detailed mousse and a delicate range of black raspberry

H. Billiot Fils Cuvee Laetitia Brut, Champagne, France NV Feuersbrunn Bright yellowThe NV Cuve Laetitia is positively stellar. Moreover, it captures the Billiot house style at its very best. Dried pear, ginger, flowers and spice give the Laetitia tons of allure. But what I like most about this release is a sense of energy that provides striking cut to play off the natural richness of Ambonnay. Much of that comes from the presence of Chardonnay in the blend as well. 93 Pts Antonio Galloni, Vinous
