Champagne Billecart-Salmon

It all started in 1818 when Nicolas François Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon were married, marking the creation of their Champagne House. A family story since the beginning, over 7 generations, each member of the family has endeavoured to continue the family tradition, staying faithful to the same motto: "Give priority to quality, strive for excellence.” The wines are vinified at low temperatures to give the signature of the Billecart-Salmon style, delicate aromas and purity of fruit.
