Profile & Story
Founded in 1818 in Mareuil-sur-Ay, Billecart-Salmon is one of the oldest family-owned houses in Champagne, known for a house style built on precision and finesse achieved through slow, low-temperature fermentation. Le Rose (Brut Rose NV) gets its color and flavor from the addition of a small proportion of still red wine rather than the more common saignee method; the blend draws on Chardonnay from premier-cru sites across Champagne, Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims and Grande Vallee de la Marne, and Meunier from the Vallee de la Marne and the southern slopes of Epernay. The wine is aged a minimum of 36 months on lees and finished at an Extra Brut dosage.
Tasting Notes
Radiant colour with a beautiful pale pink hue, an elegant visual ensemble with graceful effervescence. Subtle, fine aromas lead to a gourmand seduction of red berry flavours and citrus zest. An outstanding tactile sensation with creamy smoothness evolves into a character of wild strawberries with a slightly raspberry finish. (Champagne Billecart-Salmon, official tasting note)
Pairing Recommendation
The best accompaniment to any happy occasion, but also delicious with a fillet of wild salmon or a carpaccio of langoustines. (Champagne Billecart-Salmon)
