Renowned for being well made, medium gold color, fine bubbles and mousse, aromas of fresh stone fruits, warm biscuits and hints of floral, blend of 66% pinot noir and 34% chardonnay. On the palate fresh fruit flavors of white peaches, cherries and baked apple with hints of citrus zest. Long elegant finish ending with rich yeasty mineral character. Bring on the tuna tartare!

So clean, so nice. A great, reasonable, go-to low dosage Champagne.

First of the wines after our tour at Champagne Billecart-Salmon. Our tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable about the domains history and all the wines.

Bright pale yellow and lots of tiny bubbles. Very lively. Fresh and crisp on the nose with some nutty notes as well as layers of green apples. Balanced acidity (7.5/10) with a medium plus body. Lovely mouthfeel with a touch of tartiness. Layered with green apples, lemon zest, stone fruits, gravel, almonds and beautiful freshness. Long and mouthwatering finish. Drink till 2024.

Made up of 40% Pinot Meunier, 30% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay. Aged for a minimum of 5 years on the lees. Disgorged in January of 2017.
