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

Pale-gold colour. Aromas of citrus fruits pure and a chalky, balanced with hints of butter and fresh honey. A creamy sensation in the mouth with a beautifully chiselled finesse. A refreshing balance of natural flavours marzipan, flaky brioche, white fruits and white pepper.

Food Matches

Pair with king scallops.
