Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
A precisely chiselled acidity, shaped by 50 months on the lees and an extra-brut dosage of 3.9 g/L that lays bare the precision of the terroir.
Roundness
The dominant Meunier and reserve wines aged in 15-year-old foudres lend a velvety, enveloping texture.
Depth
Expressive without imposing itself, the Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims gives the blend its structure with understated elegance.
Length
A fresh, mouth-watering finish with notes of toasted hazelnut and white citrus, with a remarkably persistent finish.

TASTING NOTES

Pale gold in colour with gilded highlights, threaded with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose opens on white blossom, Williams pear and a subtle brioche note carried by the reserve wines. On the palate, the attack is clean and fresh, the mid-palate silky, unfurling nuances of candied citrus and hazelnut before a taut, lingering, mouth-watering finish.

Terroirs

A blend of all three Champenois varieties — Meunier from the Vallée de la Marne, Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims and Chardonnay from the finest crus of the Marne — enriched with over 50% reserve wines drawn from a collection spanning 15 vintages back to 2006, yielding an aromatic complexity quite out of the ordinary.

Billecart-Salmon

About this house

Founded in 1818 in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, Billecart-Salmon is one of the rare Grandes Maisons still guided by its founding family after seven generations. Its stylistic signature is uncompromising: freshness above all else, achieved through low-temperature fermentations and an exceptional patience on the lees.

World-renowned for its legendary rosés and prestige vintages, the house cultivates the discretion of true artisans and the rigour of the greatest names in Champagne. It resists the race for volume, offering only what matters: the pure, expressive character of an exceptional Champenois terroir.

Food pairing

The perfect pairing

Between the champagne and its dish
Aperitif

Aperitif

Its delicate bubble and highly precise extra-brut dosage make it the ideal partner for warm, pillowy comté gougères.

Starter

The vivacity of the Chardonnay and the tension of the extra-brut beautifully enhance the brightness of a salmon tartare marinated with citrus.

Main Course

Main Course

The roundness of the Meunier and the depth of the reserve wines marry harmoniously with the velvety richness of a wild morel risotto.
