Profile

Billecart Salmon is one of the world's finest non-vintage champagnes. Billecart-Salmon has hit a purple patch of form - so much so that champagne 'guru' Tyson Stelzer recently rated the producer 10/10 in his influential Champagne Guide. He quite rightly points out that the Brut Reserve sets the phenomenally high standard by which all the other Billecart-Salmon wines follow. The quality is unquestionable, and the price is exceptional for quality non-vintage champagne.

Critic awards

I drink this regularly and always enjoy it. Wonderful aromas of light dough, fresh flowers, and sliced pears and peaches. Full-bodied yet agile and fresh, it shows layers of marvellous light tropical fruit and cream with hints of dough on the finish.

— 93 points, James Suckling

A vibrant, well-knit version, lacy in texture and offering an appealing mix of juicy, fresh-cut apple, pear tart, pickled ginger, honey and lemon flavors.

— 91 points, Wine Spectator

Light yellow colour with a golden hue. Very fresh aroma with citrus notes, especially lime leaves, as well as nuances of green apple and subtle hints of salted almonds. Fresh on the palate with a fine mousse, nuances of pineapple and rather restrained acidity. Finish is medium long.

— 91 points, Falstaff

This producer's nonvintage cuvée showcases a blend of grapes from all the regions of Champagne. Rich with white stone fruit, it balances ripe acidity and a taut texture.

— 90 points, Wine Enthusiast

Pouring a rich straw hue, it opens to generous and lightly toasty aromas of ripe red berries, caramel, and honeycomb. Medium to full-bodied, it’s ripe, rounded, expressive, and approachable, although it feels the touch of dosage in its texture as well as the suggestion of sweetness. Its fruit is ripe and long on the palate, with a hint of walnut skin on the long finish. It is certainly the classic, old school style, and compared to the other wines, has a bit broader shoulders. Its toasty touch likely comes from the malolactic fermentation that was permitted as opposed to oak.

— 90 points, Jeb Dunnuck
