Highlights
Billecart Salmon Le Rose Champagne 375ml / Half-Bottle
Billecart-Salmon Le Rosé is a romantic champagne crafted from a blend of 45% Chardonnay sourced from the best Crus in the Champagne region, 35% Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims and the Grande Vallée de la Marne, and 20% Meunier from the Vallée de la Marne and the southern slopes of Epernay. The winemaking process involves low-temperature vinification in stainless steel tanks and ageing on lees for 36 months, resulting in an Extra Brut dosage. This champagne presents a radiant color with a sparkling intensity and a pale pink hue, accompanied by subtle and fine aromas of red berries and citrus zest. On the palate, it offers a creamy smoothness with flavors of wild strawberries and a slightly raspberry finish, creating a harmonious and delicious equilibrium with remarkable precision. Ideal for happy occasions, it pairs wonderfully with dishes like wild salmon fillet or langoustine carpaccio, and enhances the flavors of red fruit desserts with an acidic crunch. Serve at 8-9°C for the best experience.
Critical Acclaim
94 James Suckling
Vinous, very floral and pure, showing violets and strawberries. Medium-bodied, zesty and focused, with energy and fruit-driven length. One of the best rosé cuvees. Made with 39% reserve wines. 100% stainless steel.
93 Wine Spectator
Sleek and finely knit, with a lovely, satiny mousse gliding across the palate, carrying flavors of white raspberry, peach skin, blanched almond and oyster shell. Long and mouthwatering, with hints of ground ginger and pink grapefruit pith on the elegant finish. Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.
