The Billecart-Salmon Difference

Billecart-Salmon remains one of the few family-owned houses in Champagne. Grapes are sourced from 40 crus within 20km of Épernay, with a focus on the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims. Each cuvée is crafted with meticulous care, balancing tradition with innovation to deliver wines of purity, precision, and quiet luxury.

How It Tastes

• Le Réserve NV — light, harmonious, and pure
• Le Rosé NV — delicate red fruits and finesse, a benchmark of rosé Champagne
• Le Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru NV — luminous Chardonnay with citrus and mineral drive
• Le Sous Bois NV — oak-vinified for texture, spice, and layered depth

Prestige Cuvées

At the top of the collection are Billecart-Salmon’s most sought-after releases. Wines that represent the pinnacle of craftsmanship and collectability:

• Cuvée Nicolas François — powerful yet elegant, created in honour of the founder
• Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon Rosé — one of Champagne’s finest vintage rosés, layered and expressive
• Clos Saint-Hilaire — a rare Blanc de Noirs from a single enclosed vineyard, released in tiny quantities

Serving and Pairing

• Brut Réserve NV — effortless aperitif
• Le Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru — ideal with oysters, scallops, and sashimi
• Le Rosé NV — pairs with tuna tartare, duck, or ripe strawberries
• Prestige cuvées — elevate fine dining or mark milestone celebrations

Billecart-Salmon Questions, Answered

Is Billecart-Salmon a grower champagne?
No. It is a historic Champagne house, but with close control over vineyards and winemaking that ensures a distinctive style.

Is Billecart-Salmon Le Rosé worth it?
Yes. Le Rosé NV is widely considered one of the finest non-vintage rosés for its elegance, freshness, and balance.

Can Billecart-Salmon age well?
While non-vintage wines are best enjoyed young, the vintage and prestige cuvées, particularly Nicolas François and Clos Saint-Hilaire, can age gracefully for decades.
