Billecart-Salmon champagne

“The Billecart-Salmon champagne house is located in the charming village of Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, in the heart of the Champagne region of France. The house was founded in 1818 by Nicolas François Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon, who began producing high-quality champagnes using traditional methods and a dedication to excellence.

Today, the house is still family-owned and operated by the seventh generation of the family, who continue to uphold the traditions and values established by their ancestors. The house is known for its unique style, which is characterized by elegance, finesse, and balance, and for its commitment to sustainable and environmentally friendly practices.

One of the house’s most popular offerings is the Billecart Brut Rosé, a champagne that is blended from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, with a portion of the Pinot Noir being vinified as red wine to give the champagne its signature salmon-pink color. On the nose, the champagne exhibits delicate aromas of red fruits, citrus, and floral notes. On the palate, it is fresh and crisp, with flavors of red berries, cherries, and a hint of spice. The champagne has a fine and persistent mousse, balanced acidity, and a long, elegant finish.”
