Rated estate (2020 guide) 5 stars (Exceptional producers, representing the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and worldwide)
About the estate:
This house in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, which is two centuries old and still family-owned, gained an international reputation in the 1990s thanks to its light and refined champagnes, particularly its rosé, its flagship wine. The grapes come mainly from the Épernay area and the Marne Valley, including the grands crus. The house owns very few vineyards of its own (around 12 hectares), but can rely on high-quality supply contracts. The entire range is refined, favoring harmony over power, with many nuances that can be found in each of the numerous cuvées. Billecart is now one of the great names in Champagne.
