Tasting Notes

'The NV Brut Rose is especially full-bodied in this year's version, which is based on 2005. Gorgeous notes of freshly cut flowers, raspberries, spices and minerals flow from this delicious Champagne. The wine possesses outstanding harmony, particularly in the way the fruit carries through to the long finish.' The Wine Advocate 90pts

Producer Information

Billecart Salmon is one of the few remaining Champagne houses to be family-owned and was established in 1818 by Nicolas-Francois Billecart. Although not a large house, its reputation has been steadily built up in France and the UK so that it happily sails above the sea of other champagnes.

Billecart Salmon is renowned for the quality of its delicate Rose, while the Brut Reserve (a blend of three vintages) is a beautifully harmonious and balanced wine. All have the ability to age very well. Most of Billecart Salmon's fruit comes from a small vineyard holding, though this is supplemented with grapes bought in from the Marne Valley and the Montagne de Reims. Meticulous production techniques, from the use of their own cultured yeast to its long, slow, cool fermentation, ensure that the family has 100% control of production.

As stated by Jancis Robinson: 'If you want to savour Billecart's finesse, it's no more expensive than most famous NV champagnes, and cheaper than several which to my mind aren't nearly as rewarding.' (Oct '05 - 'wines of the week')
