Created from the House's historic expertise and now presented as Le Réserve, this signature champagne embodies the elegance and precision that have defined Billecart-Salmon for more than 200 years. Crafted from Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier sourced from the finest Champagne terroirs, it reflects the House's commitment to balance, finesse and consistency.

Appearance: Pale gold with delicate, persistent streams of fine bubbles and a refined, creamy mousse.

Aroma: Expressive aromas of fresh orchard fruits, ripe pear and crisp apple are complemented by subtle floral notes and hints of freshly baked brioche.

Palate: Fresh, harmonious and beautifully balanced, the palate combines vibrant fruit with a creamy texture and refined minerality. Extended ageing in the House's cellars brings depth and complexity, leading to a long, elegant finish.

Serving: A versatile champagne, perfect as an aperitif and equally at home throughout a meal. It pairs beautifully with shellfish, grilled fish, poultry and soft cheeses. Serve chilled at 8-10°C.

Heritage: The story of Billecart-Salmon began in 1818, when Nicolas François Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon founded the House. Seven generations later, the family remains guided by the same philosophy: to prioritise quality and pursue excellence in every bottle.

"Lovely aromas of raspberries, gingerbread, toast and honey on the nose. I like the generosity and concentration of flavor on the palate, with a medium body and soft, creamy bubbles. Long finish. 43% meunier, 29% chardonnay and 28% pinot noir, with over 50% reserve wines. Blend of 15 vintages, with percentages based on the 2020 vintage, back to 2006. Delicious now."
