Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
The house hallmark, this freshness remains precise and taut thanks to low-temperature vinification.
Roundness
The dominant Meunier lends a fruity, silky roundness that envelops the palate with pleasing generosity.
Power
Elegant rather than powerful, this Brut Réserve favours airy finesse over structural weight.
Length
The persistence of citrus and brioche on the finish is beautifully underpinned by the depth of the reserve wines.

TASTING NOTES

A golden robe with straw-coloured highlights, the bead fine and regular with great delicacy. The nose is airy and precise, offering white fruits (pear, white peach), fresh citrus and a subtly brioche-edged quality of real refinement. On the palate, the attack is lively and fresh, the texture silky and well-balanced, with a persistent finish of white blossom and citrus zest.

Terroirs

A blend of all three Champenois varieties drawn from the finest terroirs of the Vallée de la Marne, the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs, enriched with over 50% reserve wines from a collection spanning 15 vintages — including a perpetual reserve begun in 2006 — delivering remarkable aromatic consistency and complexity.

Billecart-Salmon

About this house

Founded in 1818 at Mareuil-sur-Aÿ by Nicolas-François Billecart and Élisabeth Salmon, this independent family house stands among the most respected institutions in Champagne. True to its airy, fresh style for over two centuries, it vinifies at low temperature and pursues extended lees ageing to preserve the natural elegance of its wines.

Now in the hands of the seventh generation, Billecart-Salmon upholds an uncompromisingly qualitative approach: low yields, a high proportion of reserve wines aged in small, fifteen-year-old oak foudres, and an unwavering standard of excellence that has earned it unanimous international acclaim.

Food pairing

The perfect pairing

Between the champagne and its dish
Aperitif

Aperitif

The fine bead and lemony freshness of the Brut Réserve make a wonderful match for warm gougères straight from the oven.

Starter

Starter

The champagne's vivacity and citrus notes are a natural foil for the smoky sweetness of salmon and the fresh herbs of a gravlax.

Main course

Main course

The Meunier's roundness and the Chardonnay's freshness provide a natural counterpoint to the creamy texture and spring-like herbaceous quality of a risotto.
