"Signature of the House"
Based on the 2016 vintage, Billarcart-Salmon's new Brut Rosé looks promising, blending notes of red berries and plums with hints of peach, dried flowers, and orange peel. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, mellow and elegant, it is bright and charming, with a generous core of fruit, racy acidity, and fine mousse. Generous and expressive, it is already very good today." (Wine Advocate - William Kelley) Utterly elegant!

Wine rated 17/20 (Reference wine)
Rated estate (2020 guide) 5 stars (Exceptional producers, representing the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and worldwide)
About wine:
Always impeccable: delicately fruity, slender, fresh, easy to drink, and tenderly deep. Great fruit!
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.

About wine:
The palest of rosés, this is an elegant, structured wine. Its dryness is balanced by delicate apple and redcurrant fruit and strong minerality. Fragrant and lightly structured, this fine edition is ready to drink.
