Champagne Billecart-Salmon, Rosé, Brut

Based on the 2016 harvest, this is floral and citrussy, showing a lithe, graceful balance. It’s a blend of 40% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir and 30% Meunier, with about 40% of reserve wine, and red wine accounts for 7% of the blend. A tangerine-like acidity enlivens its delicate, subtly expansive flavours of raspberry and strawberry, and while it feels ripe and full in flavour on the palate, it never loses its sense of refinement and poise, finishing with detailed length and depth.Drink 2021 - 2026Peter Liem, Decanter.com (May 2021)

Attractive salmon colour with aromas of dried strawberries and lemons and hints of flowers. Full-bodied with tight tension from the fine phenolics that run through the palate. Hints of white pepper, peaches, and sliced green strawberries with some candied lemons. Always an excellent bottle. 40% chardonnay, 30% pinot noir and 30% pinot meunier. Drink nowjames_suckling, jamessuckling_com (August 2022)

The NV Champagne Brut Rose is an attractive pale salmon hue with a fresh perfume of wild strawberry, ripe peach, white and red flowers, a hint of tropical fruit, and grapefruit. The palate is rounded, with fruit up front and through the mid-palate, and it has a silky and fresh lift. This wine has terrific ease and drinkability, which delivers balance and finesse. Drink 2022 - 2037jeb_dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com (May 2023)

Based on the 2018 vintage, Billecart’s new NV Brut Rosé incorporates 40% reserve wines and some 6% still red wine. Bursting with scents of sweet red berries, peonies, stone fruits, white cherries, freshly baked bread and spices, it’s medium to full-bodied, pillowy and charming, with a seamless and enveloping core of fruit and a lively, fine-boned profile.Drink 2022 - 2030William Kelley, Wine Advocate (August 2022)

Pale yet intense pink in color, the Billecart-Salmon NV Brut Ros is pure, fresh and intense on the nose, with lovely raspberry aromas, refreshing citrus zest flavors and great definition. On the palate this is a pure, light and vinous ros with great finesse and a long, well-structured and even juicy finish. This iconic ros blends 40% Chardonnay with 30% Pinot Meunier from the Valle de la Marne and the southern slopes of Epernay and 30% Pinot Noir (with a small part added as red wine) from the Montagne de Reims and the Grande Valle de la Marne. Fabulous. Tasted from lot L 142B804 45564, which is based on the 2015 harvest and 40% reserve wines and was disgorged in February 2018. Tasted November 2018.Stephan Reinhardt - 07/12/2018
