Producer
Billecart Salmon
Independently run since 1818, the Billecart-Salmon Champagne House is one of the few in the region that has remained family-owned since the beginning. The maison sits in the heart of Champagne, tucked away in a small village called Mareuil-sur-Aÿ. Today, the Billecart family’s founding objective, to create wines with finesse, balance and elegance has continued with François and Antoine Roland-Billecart, representing the sixth generation. François Domi, the head oenologist, works alongside the brothers to follow the traditional Methode Champenoise that has been used for over two centuries. The Brut Réserve is a blend of three vintages and represents the estate’s superior quality in an intense and refined Champagne, with a sizable proportion of Chardonnay.
