BILLECART SALMON LES RENDEZ VOUS CINQ
Country: France, Champagne
Grape Variety: Pinot Noir 100%
Grape Variety: Pinot Noir 100%
Appearance: Shimmering, luminous visual delight, with a golden yellow hue and bright, sparkling reflections. An extremely fine, dynamic and streamlined bubble.
Palate: A remarkably full-bodied, elegant interpretation of creamy fruit (limoncello, crushed almonds and light tobacco). It is the perfect sensation of an accomplished pleasure index offering a mid-palate that stretches towards a deep, masterful distinction (stone fruits, cherry, blueberry, apricot and fresh figs).
Aroma: Its aromatic freedom with infused floral sensations (lime blossom and verbena) is woven around the refinement of crisp, fresh fruit (mandarin and greengage). It will awaken the senses to refined notes, ranging from pulpy fruit to juicy citrus. Its highly delicate blend conveys the character of Pinot Noir, which subtly reveals itself through its terroir-based DNA.
Tasting: This fifth wine of the family rediscovers the natural expression of a pure Pinot Noir on exceptional terroirs. Served at cellar temperature (10/12° C), it can be paired with culinary dishes such as hay-cooked poultry or minced beef with fresh coriander and spring onions.

Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy`s Côte d`Or.
Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climates of the Côte d`Or.
Because of the thinness of the skins, Pinot Noir wines are lighter in colour, body and tannins. However the best wines have grip, complexity and an intensity of fruit seldom found in wine from other grapes. Young Pinot Noir can smell almost sweet, redolent with freshly crushed raspberries, cherries and redcurrants. When mature, the best wines develop a sensuous, silky mouth feel with the fruit flavours deepening and gamey "sous-bois" nuances emerging.
The best examples are still found in Burgundy, although Pinot Noir`s key role in Champagne should not be forgotten. It is grown throughout the world with notable success in the Carneros and Russian River Valley districts of California, and the Martinborough and Central Otago regions of New Zealand.
