This is a special one: a vintage Champagne Billecart-Salmon created exclusively for the American market, marking both the 250th anniversary of American independence and the 200th anniversary of the house itself. Unlike the non-vintage cuvees, this is a single-year wine from the excellent 2018 harvest, made entirely from Grand Cru and Premier Cru fruit: Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims for structure, Chardonnay from the Cote des Blancs for finesse. It spent more than five years aging on the lees before release and was finished as an Extra Brut, with a very low dosage that keeps it taut and mineral. A collector's bottle with the pedigree to back it up.

More about Billecart-Salmon

Billecart-Salmon was founded in 1818 in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ with the marriage of Nicolas François Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon, and more than two centuries later it remains one of the few great Champagne houses still owned and run by the founding family. Mathieu Roland-Billecart, the seventh generation, has led the house since 2019, pushing it toward more sustainable farming with no herbicides and more biodiversity in the vines. The style is all finesse: precise, elegant Champagnes that make Billecart one of the most beloved names in the region.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Dinner-worthy Champagne for lobster, scallops, roast poultry, and richer fish. Also excellent with aged hard cheeses.

Tasting Profile

Dry, focused, and mineral, with red apple, citrus, white flowers, and a hint of brioche. A saline, refreshing Extra Brut finish.

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
