This exceptional cuvee was created in 1964 as a tribute to the House’s founder. It results from the blending of Grands Crus from the classified Côte des Blancs vineyards (Chardonnay) and the Montagne de Reims (Pinot Noir). Its vinification, partially in traditional oak casks, underpins the generous character of this fine, elegant and rich wine. World Class!

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.

Champagne

The Champagne region in France is world-renowned for its prestigious sparkling wines. Located in northeastern France, it benefits from a cool climate and chalky soils, which are ideal for producing high-quality grapes. It is particularly famous for its traditional method sparkling wines, known simply as Champagne, made primarily from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier grapes. These wines are celebrated for their fine bubbles, crisp acidity, and complex flavours, often displaying notes of citrus, apple, brioche, and minerals. The region is divided into several sub-regions, including Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne, and Côte des Blancs, each contributing unique characteristics to the wines. With its long history of winemaking excellence, distinctive terroir, and luxurious wines, the Champagne region offers an unparalleled experience for wine enthusiasts seeking the epitome of sparkling wine.
