Billecart-Salmon

Founded in 1818 and now with the ninth generation, the Billecart family remains at the helm of this renowned medium-sized Champagne house. Although the vineyard holdings are a small part of the productions the house manages over a hundred hectares of the vines used for production through the entire growing cycle. This allows for a lower-than-average yields to ensure ripeness and quality of fruit necessary for wines of the quality Billecart produces throughout their range.

Billecart pioneered the double-debourbage to provide ultra-clarified juice for fermentation instilling perhaps part of the purity of expression that all the Billecart wines show. Fermentation in old oak, an extended lees-ageing period, and a judicious low dosage produces wines with Billecart’s signature. Wines that provide immediate pleasure but with structure and balance to age much further.

We offer the following Champagne from Billecart-Salmon:

• Billecart-Salmon Brut Sous Bois
• Billecart-Salmon “Cuvee Nicholas Francois Billecart”
