Reviewed by: Kristaps Karklins

Based on the 2020 vintage (the youngest vintage serves as the "base" of the bottling, even if it isn't the majority of the blend) and incorporating 71% reserve wines — half stored as individual vintages and half as a perpetual reserve started in 2006 — Billecart-Salmon's latest NV Le Réserve is showing very well.

It shows aromas of green pear, honeysuckle, brioche and white peach. Disgorged in early 2024 with a dosage of three grams per litre, this reformulated cuvée recently underwent a significant reduction in dosage. The sweetness so often found on the finish of Grande Marque NV Champagnes is no longer there.

Medium- to full-bodied, vibrant and charming, with a textural attack and lively acidity, it culminates in a long, precise finish. This reinvented cuvée replaces the Brut Réserve and, besides the lower dosage, features a stricter fruit selection, 20 extra months of ageing sur lattes (now 50 months in total) and a larger share of the perpetual reserve.
