The NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru is showing beautifully today, with aromas of confit citrus, pear, herbs, orchard fruits, pastry and brioche. Medium to full-bodied, it is round and supple with the delicate, bright tension that is the signature of Billecart-Salmon. Perfectly balanced and offering a vinous, toasty and elegantly long finish, it's based on the 2017 vintage with 23% from 2016. Vinified and matured in stainless steel, it spent five years on the lees in bottle before being disgorged with a dosage of 1.7 grams per liter.

Very good, classic blanc de blancs non-vintage, probably from a grand cru village like Le Mesnil. Terroir makes it all. (Fred Brugues, Sketch) Complex nose, crisp, well-balanced palate. This delivers across the board, and the minerality shines through. (Dominic Jacobs, The Running Horse.) Imbibe.com (Nov 2014)
The NV Blanc de Blancs (from vineyards in the Cote des Blancs) emerges with firm, chalky notes that frame a highly individualistic expression of Chardonnay. The wine possesses striking depth and clarity, along with a graceful, elegant finish. This is another very strong effort from Billecart-Salmon Rating: 90 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, www.RobertParker.com
Champagne Billecart Salmon
Founded by Nicolas-Francois Billecart in 1818, and situated in the village of Mareuil-sur-A每, this remains one of the few family owned businesses in Champagne. the family has 100% control of production. They obtain their grapes from an area covering 220 hectares, the majority of which come from in and around the region of 脡pernay, and own a total of 15 hectares themselves. Today the estate is run by Fran莽ois and Antoine Roland-Billecart, the 6th generation of the family to lead the independent House, still with the support of their father Jean Roland-Billecart.
