It all started in 1818 when Nicolas François Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon were married, marking the creation of their Champagne House. This has been a family story since the beginning with Louis Salmon, brother of Elisabeth and a passionate oenologist, getting involved in the creation of the wines. Thus, over 7 generations, each member of the family has endeavoured to continue the family tradition, staying faithful to the same motto: "Give priority to quality, strive for excellence".
The champagnes of Maison Billecart-Salmon are above all created thanks to the knowledge of the men who rigorously cultivate an estate of 100 hectares, obtaining grapes from an area totalling 300 hectares across 40 crus of the Champagne region.
The majority of the grapes used for vinification come from a radius of 20km around Epernay, where the Grand Crus of Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay co-exist, in the ethereal vineyards of the Montagne de Reims, the Vallée de la Marne and the Côte des Blancs.
This cuvée showcases the mastery and knowledge of balance. It’s this subtle delicateness, born from harmony and finesse which represents the elegance of this Brut Rosé.
Tasting Notes:
Instantly identifiable as a Billecart-Salmon Rosé from its burnished coppery tint, this leaps from the glass with aromas of strawberry, melon, citrus and fresh herbs, followed by a mouthful of red berries and pink grapefruit, white pepper. Finishing with great lift and seductive minerality in the long luxurious finish.
