Champagne Billecart-Salmon

Billecart-Salmon, a medium-size Champagne House in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, was founded in 1818 by the original owners Nicolas Francois Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon who combined their names on marriage to create the brand. It is one of the few remaining Champagne houses to remain family owned. Billecart-Salmon is renowned for the quality of its delicate Brut Rose, whilst the Brut Reserve (a blend of three vintages) is a beautifully harmonious and balanced wine. All have the ability to age very well.

Tasting Notes

A deep yellow gold hue, underlined by intensely golden reflections. A extremely complex, vinous impact on the nose with a touch of biscuit, fresh roasted hazelnuts, white pepper. The palate has hints of citrus fruit flesh and pears in syrup, candied lemon zest & mandarin pulp emerges against a base note of panettone. With a richness bursting with flavours, puffed buckwheat and precious wood the wine is carried by a fullness of taste with bewitching charm culminating in a deliciously chalky root mineral.

Food Matches
