Billecart-Salmon Le Rosé (NV)

This update to the Billecart Salmon Rose, with a subtle name change from Billecart Salmon ‘Brut Rose’ to ‘Le Rose’ was chosen to demarcate a change in ageing time and dosage. This now sees 36 months on its lees for complexity and the dosage here has dropped into Extra Brut range, just below 5 grams per liter.

A radiant colour with a sparkling intensity, entwined with a beautiful pale pink hue. An elegant visual ensemble bestowed with a graceful effervescence. Subtle and fine aromas, leading to a gourmand seduction of red berry flavours and citrus zest with an aromatic burst of great finesse which is both floral and refreshing. An outstanding tactile sensation with a creamy smoothness, which evolves into a very noble notion with a character of wild strawberries and a slightly raspberry finish. A harmonious and delicious equilibrium with a remarkable precision. It is the best accompaniment to any happy occasion, but also with a fillet of wild salmon or a carpaccio of langoustines. In terms of desserts, it will enhance the flavours of red fruits with an acidic crunch and only lightly sweetened.

The grape variety % is based on the 2020 vintage – 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.
