Why You'll Love It
A benchmark for delicate rosé Champagne. Wild strawberry and raspberry are carried by a fine, creamy mousse and a beautifully fresh citrus finish. It feels effortlessly elegant without being insubstantial, and is excellent alongside seafood as well as an aperitif.
About The Producer
Founded in 1818 in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ by Nicolas François Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon, Billecart-Salmon remains one of Champagne's most respected family-owned houses, now in its seventh generation under Mathieu Roland-Billecart. Its reputation rests on precision rather than spectacle. In 1958, Jean Roland-Billecart pioneered slower, lower-temperature fermentations and cold settling to preserve the delicacy and freshness of the fruit. That approach still shapes the house's fine bubbles, measured richness and exceptional balance. Billecart-Salmon works with leading vineyards in the Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne and Côte des Blancs, using both carefully controlled stainless-steel vinification and oak where it serves the wine. Its pale, finely detailed Brut Rosé helped redefine the category, while cuvées such as Nicolas François demonstrate its capacity for long ageing and extraordinary depth. Estate vineyard work has also earned Sustainable Viticulture in Champagne and High Environmental Value certification. Few Champagne houses combine history, consistency and finesse quite so convincingly.
Winemaking Information
Le Rosé is assembled from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier, with a proportion of the Pinot Noir vinified as red wine to give colour and delicate red-fruit character. Billecart-Salmon's current 2020-base specification lists 45% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 20% Meunier. Low-temperature stainless-steel vinification and traditional-method bottle fermentation are followed by approximately 36 months on lees, with an Extra Brut dosage. Blend proportions may differ by base vintage.
