Gault&Millau's review
2025
95/100
Tender aromas of almond, breadcrumbs, hawthorn flowers and summer pear contribute to a nose of finesse and freshness, with restraint in expression. The palate is very taut, with notes of bergamot and citron, with a hint of lime. A crystalline, racy wine that keeps the palate on its toes with its fresh structure, before a barely saline finish, just enough to make you dream of a second glass.

Billecart-Salmon
To discover the origins of Billecart-Salmon champagnes, we have to go back to 1818, when husband and wife Nicolas François Billecart and Élisabeth Salmon founded their company. Alongside them, Louis Salmon, Élisabeth's brother and a passionate oenologist, has been involved in winemaking since the estate was founded. Since then, seven generations have succeeded one another in the village of Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, near Épernay, with Mathieu Roland-Billecart taking over the reins in 2019. Special mention for the blanc de noirs from the tiny Clos Saint-Hilaire (94 a), planted exclusively with pinot noir vines since 1964. These are now pampered by biodynamic viticulture and are once again open to the public after renovation work.
