At the head of a vineyard of nearly 100 hectares, stretching from the Côte des Blancs to the Montagne de Reims, the House of Billecart-Salmon perpetuates a heritage of excellence. For seven generations, it has crafted exceptional champagnes that bear witness to unique know-how and a rich heritage.
A Pioneer in Rosé Champagnes
As early as the 1950s, it was one of the first Houses to perfect the production of rosé d'assemblage, precisely controlling the addition of red wine to preserve the elegance and freshness of the champagne. Its Brut Rosé, which has become iconic, seduces with its finesse, balance, and delicate expression of red fruits. The latter also excels in vintage rosés, such as the prestigious Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon, which reveals depth and complexity.
Billecart-Salmon Le Rosé, Symbol of the House
How can one mention the prestigious estate without speaking of its emblematic Billecart-Salmon Rosé? A true signature of the House and an essential reference for rosé champagnes, the Brut Rosé, nicknamed "Pink Bill," established itself thanks to Jean Roland-Billecart. In 1970, he made it one of the symbols of Billecart-Salmon. Crafted with remarkable precision, this cuvée results from a harmonious blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, enhanced by a touch of red wine from the finest terroirs.
Its delicately salmon-colored robe gives way to a refined aromatic bouquet, where notes of fresh red fruits, citrus, and white flowers intertwine. On the palate, the attack is precise, revealing a silky texture and beautiful vivacity. Its perfect balance between freshness and complexity makes it a remarkable champagne, ideal both as an aperitif and as an accompaniment to delicate dishes such as salmon carpaccio, sushi, or a red fruit dessert.
Elisabeth Salmon Rosé, the Refined Expression of Great Vintages
A true tribute to elegance and finesse, the Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon Rosé embodies the House of Billecart-Salmon's expertise in the art of vintage rosé champagne. This exceptional cuvée, crafted only in great years, results from a rigorous blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with a touch of red wine from the most beautiful terroirs.
With a robe of coppery and luminous hues, this champagne reveals a nose of great complexity, blending aromas of ripe red fruits, citrus zest, and subtle spicy notes. The palate seduces with its silky texture and depth, offering a delicate and complex aromatic palette. Its precise effervescence and mineral structure provide exceptional length and a finish of great freshness.
As the ultimate expression of Billecart-Salmon's know-how, Elisabeth Salmon Rosé is a champagne of gastronomy par excellence, enhancing the most refined dishes, from noble fish to finely prepared poultry.
