This Cuvee is now considered a flagship of the range of Billecart-Salmon Champagnes. It is the result of a white vinification of the best crus of 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir. A small percentage of still red from our vineyards in Mareuil-Sur-Ay is also included within the Pinot Noir content. This method dates back to the earliest days of our House. It gives the wine its original pale pink colour with a hint of gold. The secret of its success has been handed down through six generations.
Billecart-Salmon is one of my favourite Champagne houses, and their non-vintage Rose (Lot #L85547401905M) is a consistent winner. A delicate pink colour is accompanied by gorgeous sweet cherry, strawberry, and mineral-like scents, assertive medium-bodied flavours, a delicate, crisp personality, and surprising depth as well as persistence. A beautiful berry character in the finish adds to this impeccable rose’s captivating style.
