Highlights

A blend of 65% Pinot Noir and 35% Chardonnay from Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards in Montagne de Reims and Côte des Blancs, this vintage cuvée was fermented almost entirely in stainless steel and aged on the lees for more than five years. It shows yellow peach, red berry fruit, sandy shortbread, and honeysuckle, with terrific density, good acidity, and an intensely chalky finish.

Billecart-Salmon Anniversary Cuvee Vintage 2018

The 2018 Billecart-Salmon 250th Anniversary Cuvée was released to mark two milestones at once: the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence of the United States and the 200th anniversary of the House of Billecart-Salmon. The U.S. has long been one of Billecart’s most important export markets, so this bottling was created as a commemorative release for that relationship, and the fact that 2018 was an exceptional vintage made the project even more fitting. The wine is made from 100% Grand Cru and Premier Cru fruit, with a blend of 65% Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims and 35% Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs. Just 3% of the cuvée was vinified in oak, with the balance aged in stainless steel, then the wine spent 63 months sur latte before being finished as an Extra Brut with 4.9 g/L dosage. In plain terms, this is a commemorative Champagne with serious credentials behind it: strong vintage, top-level vineyard sourcing, long lees aging, and a winemaking approach that keeps the focus on precision rather than excess.

If we have multiple quantities of the same item, the photo represents the general condition of all bottles under that SKU.
