The specific style of Billecart-Salmon champagne is thanks to Jean Roland-Billecart. In the late 1950s, he introduced a method of fermentation in which – among other things – the temperature does not exceed 13° C. This slows down the fermentation process, giving all the delicate aromas the opportunity to fully develop. The long maturation on the lees (the sediment) that follows gives the wine a unique clarity and purity. The result is fresh champagnes, with a lot of finesse and fine bubbles. It is not without reason that Billecart-Salmon is among the top ten most appreciated champagnes and is the darling of sommeliers in top gastronomic restaurants.
Billecart-Salmon Brut Rosé is a champagne from the house Billecart-Salmon from the French town of Mareuil-sur-Aÿ. It is an extra brut champagne, which means that it contains little sugar. It has a pink color, which is obtained by a short maceration of the grapes. The taste is elegant and fruity with notes of strawberries, raspberries and citrus. Billecart-Salmon Brut Rosé is a good choice for a festive occasion or as an aperitif.

From: New Non-Vintage Champagnes (Dec 2013)
(40% pinot meunier, 30% pinot noir and 30% chardonnay; L200352): Light, bright gold. Fresh red berries, orange zest and white flowers on the perfumed nose. Juicy and precise, offering energetic redcurrant and blood orange flavors that show good concentration and a supple texture. A mineral nuance adds bite to the finish, with the floral note echoing.

Billecart Salmon is a house that radiates elegance while staying firmly rooted in the chalky soils it calls home. Since 1818, the same family in Mareuil sur Aÿ has crafted Champagne that blends freshness with finesse. Tradition here is not a museum piece, but a living part of every new vintage.
The story begins with Nicolas François Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon, who started a small venture that has since grown into one of the best kept jewels of Champagne. Remarkably, the estate is still fully run by descendants of the founding family. No investors, no acquisitions, no industrial scale. Just generations following in each other’s footsteps with the same calm determination that defines the wines.
Early on, the family chose a winemaking approach where precision mattered more than speed. At a time when Champagne production was largely volume driven, they were already working with cooler fermentations and extended maturation. It resulted in a style that has remained soft, lively and unmistakable.
Mareuil sur Aÿ is blessed with soils that act almost like a natural cellar master. Layers of chalk retain moisture, cool the roots and give that signature tension that enthusiasts recognize in a single sip. The family works with vineyards in Premier Cru and Grand Cru villages that have been tended by the same growers for generations. Some parcels are so consistently cultivated that it almost feels as if the grapes know exactly what is expected of them.
Their blends rely heavily on Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. The combination of structure, brightness and depth makes the base wines distinctive even before the bubbles appear.
The work in the cellar is calm, precise and patient. Fermentation takes place at low temperatures, allowing aromas to develop slowly. This keeps the wines fresh and pure. It may sound technical, but it is mostly a matter of patience. And that patience pays off in every glass.
Using both stainless steel and oak brings extra layers without heaviness. The family believes Champagne should dance, not march. You taste that energy immediately: vibrant fruit, fine acidity and a mousse that feels almost silky.
Anyone who thinks elegant Champagne cannot age has never seen Billecart Salmon at its best. Some bottles gain new layers for decades while remaining astonishingly fresh. It is almost their signature. The balance between vibrancy and softness allows these wines to mature beautifully, sometimes so impressively that you wonder why you ever drank them young.
These wines clearly show that Billecart Salmon shines not only today, but also after long cellaring. With age, they develop deeper character and grace, ranking among the most impressive mature Champagnes we have encountered.
The distinctive style, the uninterrupted family story and the quiet dedication to quality make this house remarkable. The wines are light-footed, precise and yet complex enough to hold your attention until the last sip. You taste not only craftsmanship, but also the calm rhythm of a house that has never joined the rush of the outside world.
And in a world full of mergers and flashy marketing, it is comforting that one family still works from Mareuil sur Aÿ just as they have done for more than two hundred years.
At Grandcruwijnen you will find a fine selection from this historic house, stored in climate controlled conditions and ready to ship. We are happy to assist with sommelier advice, serving suggestions and guidance for long term ageing. You can also collect your order in Dordrecht, where we are available for personal recommendations.
