To celebrate the Lunar New Year, Year of Dragon, Billecart-Salmon created a limited edition gift packing in honour of the signature Brut Rose Champagne.

Gongbi (工筆) Painting
Meaning "meticulous", uses highly detailed brushstrokes that delimit details very precisely. Known as traditional Chinese realist painting, historically peaked out between the Tang and Song dynasties when these refined paintings were endorsed and collected by the royal families of China. Nowadays, as a precious heritage of Chinese classical art, Gongbi painting continuously showcases the extreme elegance of Chinese culture with more innovated ideas through the delicate brush work of the artist. 

Billecart-Salmon Brut Rose
Billecart-Salmon Brut Rosé defines the entire rosé Champagne category. Composed of 40% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir and 30% Meunier, it gets its colour and rosé flavour from 8% red wine. This red wine is almost exclusively sourced from Billecart’s own village of Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, from massal-selected Pinot Noir plots of 60–80 years old. These plots are picked at still red wine ripeness—12% potential alcohol—and then de-stemmed and cold macerated before fermentation. It is this red wine that makes the Billecart Rosé so special, and unfortunately also limits the supply. The finished product is the most elegant, restrained, dry and delicate wine that one could drink.
