Its colour comes from blending in a small amount of still red wine made in house from Pinot Noir, rather than through skin contact. The wine is fermented at low temperature in stainless steel and rests on lees for thirty six months before release, a long ageing period that builds real depth without dulling its freshness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the winery says:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass it shows a radiant, pale pink hue with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose is subtle and refined, built around red berries and citrus zest with a floral lift, while the palate has a notably creamy texture that moves into wild strawberry and a touch of raspberry on the finish. Chief winemaker Florent Nys aims for balance and precision above all, and the wine is made to pair well with dishes like wild salmon or langoustine carpaccio, as well as red fruit based desserts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the experts say:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eJeb Dunnuck (NV, reviewed 2022) - 94 points\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is a wonderful ease and drinkability to this wine, which delivers balance and finesse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eJames Suckling (NV, reviewed 2024) - 93 points\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's medium-bodied and vivid with fine bubbles and plenty of succulence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eWine Enthusiast (NV, reviewed 2023) - 91 points\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA fine composition of red fruits and taut citrus, this Champagne is poised and fragrant with acidity and light tannins.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dhall \u0026 Nash","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53182027333999,"sku":"100590","price":839.94,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/2252\/6319\/files\/ChampagneBillecart-SalmonLeRoseNV.jpg?v=1783924898","url":"https:\/\/stolencellar.co.nz\/products\/champagne-billecart-salmon-le-rose","provider":"Stolen Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
