The Winery

Billecart Salmon

Established by Nicolas François in 1818, Billecart Salmon is known within France and around the globe for fashioning the most elegant Champagnes, fully rounded Cuvées with the cleanest palate and eternal, seemingly ageless styling. Non-vintage French fizz does not get better than this. This stock has just arrived in the country ensuring these are crisp fresh bubbles further enhancing this great offer (I sound like a car salesman). Seriously, anyone in the market for Champagne, Billecart represents the best value buy. So whilst the Jones's drink Moet and Veuve and the like, treat yourself to this treasure.

Billecart-Salmon Brut Réserve

4 /5

- The aromas are cheifly characterised by pear and blackberry with hints of cut hay. Light and refined with a touch of citrus on the finish.
- Billecart-Salmon is one of the few remaining Champagne houses to be owned by the original family and was established in 1818 by Nicolas-Francois Billecart.
- Most of Billecart-Salmon's fruit comes from a small vineyard holding, though this is supplemented with grapes bought in from the Marne Valley and the Montagne de Reims.
- Meticulous production techniques, from the use of their own cultured yeast to its long, slow, cool fermentation, ensure that the family has 100% control of production.

The Brut Réserve Maison Billecart-Salmon was voted "Best Brut in the world" by the famous Decanter guide. The signed Billecart-Salmon Brut Réserve is a round champagne wine, harmonious and balanced. Its assembly, unchanged from 1945, is made from Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier from the best vineyards of the Marne.
Building on its deep-rooted traditions, such as wine-making grapes in barrels of "Grand Cru", the Maison does grow its bottles in a branched network and extensive cellars cut into the chalk and dating from the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. The temperature is constant, around 12 ° C, allowing the creation of a delicate effervescence.

Basée sur la commune de Mareuil sur Ay, juste à l'extérieur d'Épernay, Billecart-Salmon est l'une des maisons de champagne des plus raffinées. Toujours possédé par la famille qui l'a fondé, le style de la maison est frais et élégant, utilisant des proportions élevées de Chardonnay et de Pinot Meunier. Le vin est âgé sur lattes durant trois ans pour donner de la profondeur et de la complexité au vin.
