Founded in 1818 upon the marriage of Nicholas François Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon, this revered estate is one of the few family run houses left in Champagne. Now in its seventh generation, Billecart Salmon has long been a favourite among those in the know - "if you've never tasted a bottle of Billecart, then you're in for a treat" says The Daily Mail … and we couldn't agree more!
The secret to its success? An intricate blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier grapes from three different vintages - a recipe that's remained unchanged since 1945. A lengthy slumber in the family's traditional cellars rounds complex brioche and citrus flavours off to perfection.
"Full-bodied and voluminous, this delivers subtle, complex shadings of whole-grain bread, coconut and candied fruit, finishing with a distinctive rhubarb preserve aftertaste. It's rich and balanced on the soft side. Score 91 points." Wine Spectator.
