Billecart-Salmon's 2016 vintage continues the house's drive to creatively lower dosage levels coming in with just 1.9g/L in this year of extreme weather. The 2016 will be at its best from mid-2024 but is already showing a mature clementine and juicy apricot fruitiness warmed up with ground nuts and fragrant raspberry. Neat and slightly reticent on release there is a subtle insistency here and it will lengthen and unfurl with more time on cork. The most impressive of Billecart's recent vintage releases. Made with 100% grand cru fruit 25% of which was vinified in small and large oak. - Tom Hewson
