Left Billecart-Salmon

Founded in 1818 by Nicolas Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon, the estate is now managed by the seventh generation of the family to do so, brothers François and Antoine Roland-Billecart. The house operates on the philosophy that an early harvest yields more elegant, delicate Champagnes and continues to produce in this structure-driven style that has made them one of the most iconic champagnes of our time.

When the time comes to blend the cuvees, every morning at the cave of Maison Billecart-Salmon a team of family members and employees assemble for a blind tasting. Each wine is analyzed, voted on, and then assigned to an appropriate cuvée.

This painstaking process (tasting vin clair is no picnic) is done with every single wine in the cellar, multiple times over. It guarantees exceptional quality, consistent style, and ensures Billecart remains one of Champagne's greatest houses. In top vintages all that hard work ensures that the Vintage wine is a perfect reflection of everything that year has to offer.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 92
"The Extra Brut No.3 is the third release of Billecart’s new Meunier Champagne from vineyards in Leuvrigny, Damery and Venteuil. Bold and savory, the No.3 is done in a richer, more vinous style than most of the house’s other Champagnes. It’s an approach that works so well with Meunier. Apricot, dried herbs, chamomile, sage, mint, tangerine peel and floral-infused honey all develop in the glass. There is a bit of edginess in the texture, which suggests less than ideal ripening for the base year and/or dosage that is a touch low. For that reason, I would prefer to drink this on the earlier side." -Vinous

D 92
"This cuvée, dedicated to Pinot Meunier, has a bright, vibrant, fresh nose of orchard fruits, pineapple, spring flowers and blossom. The palate is tense and delicate, medium-bodied, and evokes notes of white pepper and chalk with a saline finish and a gently bitter aftertaste. Enjoy it over the next five years."
