Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
A finely chiselled acidity driven by the dominant Chardonnay and a measured Extra Brut dosage of 5 g/L.
Roundness
A silky texture brought by the addition of Pinot Noir red wine from Mareuil-sur-Aÿ blended into the assemblage.
Power
An elegant, airy expression, oriented towards delicacy rather than density.
Length
A fruity and mineral finish with fine persistence, carried by the natural freshness of the selected crus.

TASTING NOTES

A pale, luminous salmon-pink robe shot through with golden highlights and crowned with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose opens generously with wild strawberry, fresh raspberry and rose petal, punctuated by a discreet brioche note and a characteristic chalky minerality. On the palate, the attack is lively and precise, a silky texture envelops the mouth, and the finish lingers on fruity and floral notes of remarkable elegance.

Terroirs

A multi-cru assemblage from across Champagne enriched with approximately 7% red wine from Pinot Noir harvested at Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, the village where the House was founded, which lends the cuvée its salmon hue and its fleshy, fruit-driven character.

Billecart-Salmon

About this house

Founded in 1818 at Mareuil-sur-Aÿ by Nicolas François Billecart and Élisabeth Salmon, Billecart-Salmon remains one of the rare great Champagne houses still owned and run by descendants of the founding family. The House style is built around precision, freshness and elegance, achieved in part through low-temperature vinification that preserves the most delicate aromas.

The Rosé has been the House's flagship cuvée and its global icon for decades. Its reputation rests on a meticulous assemblage incorporating the House's own Pinot Noir red wines and a deliberately restrained dosage — currently around 5 g/L — which allows the purity of the fruit and the natural minerality of the Champagne terroirs to shine.

The perfect pairing

Between the champagne and its dish
Aperitif

Aperitif

La bulle fine et la fraîcheur fruitée du Rosé se marient naturellement à la légèreté dorée et beurrée des gougères.

Starter

Starter

La vivacité du Chardonnay et les arômes de fruits rouges subliment la délicatesse du saumon gravlax et s'accordent aux zestes d'agrumes.

Main course

Main course

La structure fruitée et la légère trame tannique du Rosé épousent parfaitement les épices douces et les sucs dorés du magret.
