Billecart-Salmon Les Rendez-vous N°2 Pinot Noir Extra-Brut NV is crafted entirely from Pinot Noir sourced from a single parcel in the Vallée de la Marne, reflecting the maison’s continuing exploration of terroir-focused micro-cuvées. Produced in limited quantities, this release highlights Billecart-Salmon’s meticulous approach to viticulture and élevage, combining purity of fruit with refined structure and mineral tension. The wine is vinified with great care to preserve freshness and site character, while extended lees ageing contributes depth, texture and remarkable finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass the Champagne reveals a beautifully energetic profile, balancing bright red berry fruit with citrus precision and subtle chalky minerality. The Pinot Noir brings both richness and vibrancy, supported by fine, persistent mousse and the house’s signature elegance. Layers of raspberry, wild strawberry and red apple unfold alongside hints of brioche, spice and delicate floral nuances. Despite its generosity, the wine remains focused and linear, driven by refreshing acidity and a dry, savoury finish enhanced by its Extra-Brut dosage. The texture is silky yet tension-filled, giving the wine both immediate appeal and the capacity to evolve gracefully with short to mid-term cellaring. This is a refined and gastronomic Champagne that pairs beautifully with tuna tartare, lobster, roasted poultry or delicate charcuterie. It is a vivid expression of Pinot Noir interpreted through the lens of precision Champagne craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Expressive and finely detailed\u003cbr\u003eAromas of wild strawberry, raspberry and red apple layered with citrus zest, white flowers and subtle brioche notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Energetic and textured\u003cbr\u003eFine mousse supports flavours of red berries, orchard fruit and citrus with chalky minerality and vibrant acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Dry and persistent\u003cbr\u003eA savoury, mineral-driven finish with lingering red fruit freshness and delicate spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e“A focused and finely detailed Champagne with notes of raspberries, red apples, dried flowers and brioche.
