Holiday Cheer from Mareuil-sur-Ay

Founded in 1818, Champagne Billecart-Salmon remains one of the few prestigious Houses still owned and operated by the original family. For over two centuries, they have defined the concept of "finesse" in Champagne. Based in the village of Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, the family sources grapes from a radius of just 20km around Epernay, focusing on the ethereal quality of the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs. Their winemaking philosophy centers on cool fermentations and extreme delicacy, resulting in wines that whisper rather than shout, celebrated globally for their purity and grace.

This holiday season, we invite you to experience three distinct expressions of the Billecart style. We begin with the Brut Réserve, a harmonious blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier. With notes of crisp pear, white stone fruits, and a subtle biscuity charm, it is the definition of a versatile aperitif. Next, we pour the iconic Brut Rosé. Widely considered a reference point for the category, this "romantic champagne" captivates with its pale pink hue and gourmet aromas of wild strawberry and citrus zest.

Finally, we explore the Le Sous Bois, a unique cuvée entirely vinified in oak casks. This method revives the ancestral spirit of the House, delivering a rich, textural experience. Expect a burst of flavors ranging from melted butter and brioche to mocha and warm spices. It is a powerful gastronomic wine that pairs beautifully with holiday dishes like white meats with morels or hard cheeses.
