Billecart-Salmon Champagne Brut Rosé (N.V.)

This is one of our favorite champagne houses. The Billecart family has been living in Mareuil-sur-Ay since the 16th century. Billecart-Salmon now stands as the oldest continuously family owned and operated house in Champagne. It is currently managed by the seventh generation, brothers Francois and Antoine Roland-Billecart.

They own a total of 15 hectares of vineyards. Eleven of these are in the Vallee de la Marne split between 4ha of Grand Cru in Ay and Premier Cru in Mareuil-sur-Ay and 7ha in the village of Damery. In the Cote des Blancs the family owns 4ha of Grand Cru vineyards in the villages of Chouilly, Avize and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Some of the best vineyards in the region.

This wine has a persistent mousse, with fine bubbles. Pale salmon pink in color, with a shade of gold. A nose of red fruits and fresh pear. Delicate fruit on the palate, elegant, and showing great finesse.

We can also get this in half bottles if you would like to special order. Just call us at the shop.
