Tom Hewson
Billecart-Salmon`s 2016 vintage continues the house`s drive to creatively lower dosage levels, coming in with just 1.9g/L in this year of extreme weather. The 2016 will be at its best from mid-2024 but is already showing a mature clementine and juicy apricot fruitiness, warmed up with ground nuts and fragrant raspberry. Neat and slightly reticent on release, there is a subtle insistency here, and it will lengthen and unfurl with more time on cork. The most impressive of Billecart`s recent vintage releases. Made with 100% grand cru fruit, 25% of which was vinified in small and large oak. 93 points
