The palate offers refined bubbles with notes of crisp red apple skins and lemon zest, striking a lovely balance between acidity and roundness. Every year, Billecart-Salmon vinifies base wines from more parcels than it needs for its main cuvees. A tasting committee examines each of these base wines and first selects those that match the standard style of Billecart-Salmon. Inspiration 1818 is the label of exceptional wines that are not selected, though all vinification occurs on Bllecart-Salmon property and under their respective standards.
