Billecart-Salmon Brut Vintage 1989 is a mature, prestige Champagne blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Meunier sourced from premier and grand cru villages. This vintage represents a warm year in the region, providing a generous richness and vinous weight that has evolved into tertiary complexity over nearly four decades. It underwent fermentation in stainless steel and partial malolactic conversion before spending extended time on lees to develop its signature finesse. The profile offers notes of toasted brioche, honeyed apricots and roasted nuts, supported by a remarkably persistent bead and integrated acidity. Its texture is expansive yet precise, reflecting the house`s dedication to purity and longevity even in riper years.
