Billecart-Salmon (Pronounced beel-kahr sahl-moh) have a fresh, clean and elegant style. They champion the use of the meunier grape which is often added to other cuvees without fanfare in other houses. The absolutely pristine wine making facilities located in Mareuil-Sur-Aÿ are overseen by multiple generations of the family as well as chef winemaker Francois Domi. The house purposely ferments at a lower temperature elongating the ferment to weeks and not days as can be standard in champagne, which helps capture the pristine nature of the fruit.

The absolutely pristine wine making facilities located in Mareuil-Sur-Aÿ are overseen by multiple generations of the family as well as chef winemaker Francois Domi. The house purposely ferments at a lower temperature elongating the ferment to weeks and not days as can be standard in champagne, which helps capture the pristine nature of the fruit. Every step of the wine making process at the house is artful, right down to the precision of the dosage which is unique for every disgorgement conducted in batches. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan mce-data-marked=\"1\"\u003eFood pairing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFriends, lots of friends!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2020-09-17T09:51:49+10:00","created_at":"2020-09-17T09:49:34+10:00","vendor":"Billecart-Salmon","type":"Brut","tags":["Brut","Cool fermentation","Edited For You","Family Owned","Grand Cru","Jeroboam 3L","Large Format","Negociant-Manipulant","Over $1000","Over $200","Over $500","Prestige","Prestige Collection","Prestige Cuvee","Rare","Rare Collection","Rare Collections","Rare Cuvee","Region: Mareuil-Sur-Aÿ","Size: Jeroboam","Taste: Almond","Taste: Brioche","Taste: Elegant","Taste: Fresh","Taste: Lemon Zest","Taste: Mineral","Taste: Partial Barrel-fermentation","Taste: Red Apple","Taste: Red Fruits","Taste: Reserve wines","Taste: Stainless Steel Fermentation","Taste: Texture","Year: NV"],"price":329000,"price_min":329000,"price_max":329000,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":33024283410541,"title":"Single","option1":"Single","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"BILLECART_NEBU","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":15678383521901,"product_id":4799692767341,"position":1,"created_at":"2020-09-17T09:49:35+10:00","updated_at":"2020-09-17T09:49:35+10:00","alt":"Billecart-Salmon-Brut-Reserve-Jeroboam-3L-Emperor-Champagne.jpg","width":646,"height":1000,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Billecart-Salmon-Brut-Reserve-Jeroboam-3L-Emperor-Champagne_55016bc6-1d59-408c-b1a9-c95f4177f923.jpg?v=1600300175","variant_ids":[33024283410541]},"available":false,"name":"Billecart-Salmon Brut Réserve Nebuchadnezzar (15L) - Single","public_title":"Single","options":["Single"],"price":329000,"weight":30000,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":0,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"","featured_media":{"alt":"Billecart-Salmon-Brut-Reserve-Jeroboam-3L-Emperor-Champagne.jpg","id":7849538748525,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.646,"height":1000,"width":646,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Billecart-Salmon-Brut-Reserve-Jeroboam-3L-Emperor-Champagne_55016bc6-1d59-408c-b1a9-c95f4177f923.jpg?v=1600300175"}},"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Billecart-Salmon-Brut-Reserve-Jeroboam-3L-Emperor-Champagne_55016bc6-1d59-408c-b1a9-c95f4177f923.jpg?v=1600300175"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Billecart-Salmon-Brut-Reserve-Jeroboam-3L-Emperor-Champagne_55016bc6-1d59-408c-b1a9-c95f4177f923.jpg?v=1600300175","options":["Please select"],"media":[{"alt":"Billecart-Salmon-Brut-Reserve-Jeroboam-3L-Emperor-Champagne.jpg","id":7849538748525,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.646,"height":1000,"width":646,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Billecart-Salmon-Brut-Reserve-Jeroboam-3L-Emperor-Champagne_55016bc6-1d59-408c-b1a9-c95f4177f923.jpg?v=1600300175"},"aspect_ratio":0.646,"height":1000,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Billecart-Salmon-Brut-Reserve-Jeroboam-3L-Emperor-Champagne_55016bc6-1d59-408c-b1a9-c95f4177f923.jpg?v=1600300175","width":646}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Meunier dominant champagne followed by Pinot\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Iconic \u0026amp; well-respected champagne house\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Add some serious flair to a dinner party with the biggest champagne bottle you can get\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is something to be said about this wine that makes it so approachable.
