Elegance, Bottled

Founded in 1818, Billecart-Salmon (pronounced beel-kahr sahl-moh) is one of the most prestigious family-owned houses in Champagne. Known for their fresh, clean, and elegant style, Billecart-Salmon champions the often-understated Meunier grape, giving it the spotlight in their blends where others may not. Overseen by generations of the family alongside Chief Winemaker François Domi, the house’s winemaking philosophy is meticulous and artful. They purposely ferment at lower temperatures, extending fermentation from days to weeks to preserve the pristine character of the fruit. Every element—from fermentation to disgorgement—is carefully calibrated to create champagnes of exceptional balance and purity. If you're new to fine wine, Billecart-Salmon will open your eyes to what truly superior Champagne can be.

What to Expect

Crafted exclusively from Grand Cru Chardonnay grown in the legendary village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, this exceptional cuvée captures the remarkable precision and minerality of one of Champagne's most revered terroirs. Produced solely from the 2015 vintage, the wine is vinified in stainless steel before spending an impressive 70 months ageing on lees. A low dosage of just 3.9g/L preserves the purity of the fruit while allowing the character of the vineyard to shine.

Brilliant golden in the glass with an exceptionally fine and persistent mousse, the nose opens with elegant aromas of jasmine, fresh pineapple, buttery brioche and crisp white orchard fruits. The palate is beautifully poised, revealing vibrant notes of Menton lemon, blood orange and hazelnut, layered with the unmistakable chalky minerality and delicate salinity that define the great Grand Cru vineyards of the Côte des Blancs. The finish is long, refined and beautifully balanced with subtle hints of bergamot and almond milk.
