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

Founded in 1818 by Nicolas Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon, the estate is now managed by the seventh generation of the family to do so, brothers François and Antoine Roland-Billecart. The house operates on the philosophy that an early harvest yields more elegant, delicate Champagnes and continues to produce in this structure-driven style that has made them one of the most iconic champagnes of our time.

When the time comes to blend the cuvees, every morning at the cave of Maison Billecart-Salmon a team of family members and employees assemble for a blind tasting. Each wine is analyzed, voted on, and then assigned to an appropriate cuvée.

This painstaking process (tasting vin clair is no picnic) is done with every single wine in the cellar, multiple times over. It guarantees exceptional quality, consistent style, and ensures Billecart remains one of Champagne's greatest houses. In top vintages all that hard work ensures that the Vintage wine is a perfect reflection of everything that year has to offer.

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!
