The first ever Brut Rose Vintage released by Billecart-Salmon
Blend: 55% Chardonnay, 45 % Pinot Noir | Dosage : 9g | Ageing on lees : 36 months
It all started here in 1818 when Nicolas François Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon were married, marking the creation of their Champagne House. This has been a family story since the beginning with Louis Salmon, brother of Elisabeth and a passionate oenologist, getting involved in the creation of the wines.
Thus, over 7 generations, each member of the family has endeavored to continue the family tradition, staying faithful to the same motto: "Give priority to quality, strive for excellence".
Instantly identifiable as a Billecart-Salmon Rosé from its burnished coppery tint, this leaps from the glass with aromas of strawberry, melon, citrus, and fresh herbs, followed by a mouthful of red berries and pink grapefruit, white pepper, with a touch of burnt sugar and tart pomegranate in the long luxurious finish.
A terrific wine to drink all the way through dinner - elegant enough for crudo but with the weight for Beef Wellington.
