Champagne Billecart-Salmon, Rosé

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.

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 - 2030

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.

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.
