Brut Réserve is the core of the Billecart-Salmon range—the house’s non-vintage Champagne that defines its elegant, understated style. It’s a blend of all three traditional Champagne grapes: Pinot Meunier (40%), Pinot Noir (30%), and Chardonnay (30%), sourced from Premier and Grand Cru sites across the Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne, and Côte des Blancs.

The wine is fermented in stainless steel to preserve freshness and clarity, with partial malolactic fermentation depending on the base year. It includes a healthy proportion of reserve wines (typically 30–40%), which helps maintain house style and adds complexity. The wine is aged for about 30 months on the lees, longer than the minimum required, and finished with a Brut-level dosage (~7–8 g/L).

The result is a finely textured Champagne with flavors of crisp apple, citrus peel, white flowers, and toasted brioche, all carried on a creamy mousse and underpinned by chalky minerality. It’s classic, versatile, and one of the most consistent Brut NVs on the market—perfect for aperitif or light food pairings.

Robert Parker

"Based on the 2020 vintage (the youngest vintage serves as the “base” of a bottling, even if it does not represent the majority of the blend) and incorporating 71% reserve wines—half stored as individual vintages and the other half as a perpetual reserve initiated in 2006—Billecart-Salmon’s latest NV Le Réserve is showing nicely. It offers aromas of green pear, honeysuckle, brioche and white peach. Disgorged in early 2024 with a dosage of three grams per liter, this reimagined cuvée has recently undergone a significant reduction in dosage. The sweetness that so often presents itself on the finish of NV Champagnes from Grandes Marques is no more. Medium to full-bodied, lively and charming, with a textural attack and vibrant acidity, it culminates in a long, precise finish. This reinvented cuvée replaces the Brut Réserve and, beyond the lowered dosage, sees a stricter fruit selection, an additional 20 months of aging sur lattes (now totaling 50 months) and an increased proportion of the perpetual reserve." —Kristaps Karklins

"Billecart-Salmon's 2019-based Brut Réserve continues the impressive rebirth of this cuvée, showing more focus, length and sapidity than previous versions. The dosage has dropped to 3g/L (from 9g/L in 2016), but the delicious nut oil and brown bread reserve wine depth props up roasted lime and apricot fruit. One to watch. 40% Meunier, 30% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay."

"Firm and minerally, this well-knit Champagne layers flavors of grainy pear, preserved lemon, toast point and crystallized honey on a creamy mousse. Reveals hints of smoke and saline on the finish."

Wine Enthusiast

"This Champagne is a classic. The nonvintage wine shows real richness and depth. It is structured, open with a honeyed aroma and ripe, rounded white fruits."

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!
