We had a lovely Easter weekend, despite the change-able weather. We spent Easter Monday walking the dog and relaxing at home, catching up on some taped TV shows and finally watching the movie Gran Torino (which I had heard almost nothing about, and absolutely loved).
To finish off the evening, we ordered in some Indian curry - a change from our usual Thai - and opened one of the bottles of Billecart-Salmon Brut Blanc de Blancs that we recently acquired with the help of a good friend. The champagne was exquisite. It's very dry and clean with the taste of lemon shortbread - a perfect balance of fruity tartness and not-too-sweet biscuit. Plus, the bubbles are to die for!! The first few sips after opening the bottle just disappeared into tiny, flavoursome explosions in my mouth, almost like the wine was never quite liquid even though I could see that it was in my glass. And the bubbles lasted throughout the bottle - not quite as evaporatingly fierce as the first sips, but more than enough to meet my demands.
I love this champagne, and am ever so happy that we have more to look forward to!
