Billecart-Salmon Le Rosé Brut Champagne

Billecart‑Salmon Le Rosé is the very definition of finesse—light yet vibrant, with delicate red berries, citrus zest, and graceful texture. A beautifully balanced rosé designed for joyous moments, fine food pairing, or simply savoring on its own.

Origins & Composition

• House: Billecart‑Salmon, a treasured family-owned Champagne house founded in 1818 in Mareuil‑sur‑Aÿ. Still led by its 7th generation.

• Blend: Typically around 45% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir, and 20% Pinot Meunier. Barrel-aging is minimal; instead, it’s vinified in stainless steel. �� Aging on lees lasts around 36 months.
