Billecart Salmon, Blanc de Blancs other_regions_australiaVery pretty peaches, apple blossoms, honey and chalk on the nose. The palate is chalky and minerally but well integrated and rounded, with silky bubbles and delicious salt and pastry notes lingering. 100% chardonnay with stainless steel vinification. Based on the 2018 vintage, with 37% reserve. 3. 9 g L dosage. Drink now.

Well-balanced

with a touch of mid-palate richness that makes it easy to drink now

medium weight flavors flash an equally prominent bead of minerality on the balanced and impressively long finish that is presently also quite tightly wound

to wit only 600 to 900 bottles are typically commercialized under the Domaine des Varoilles label)

But they show just what the grapes in Mendoza are capable of

this Tuscan blend shows an exotic quality

Helichrysum is characteristic of a hot Brunello vintage

floral and elegant personality that is the signature of this Barolo subzone

As Keller himself remarks

Precise and vibrant

Drink it over the next 30-40 years
