The distinctive style of Billecart-Salmon champagne is thanks to Jean Roland-Billecart. In the late 1950s, he introduced a fermentation method in which – among other things – the temperature does not exceed 13°C. This slows down the fermentation process, allowing all the delicate aromas to fully develop. The long aging on the lees (sediment) that follows gives the wine a unique clarity and purity. The result is fresh champagnes with great finesse and fine bubbles. It is no coincidence that Billecart-Salmon ranks among the top ten most highly regarded champagnes and is a favorite of sommeliers in top gastronomic restaurants. Billecart-Salmon Brut Rosé is a champagne from the Billecart-Salmon house in the French town of Mareuil-sur-Aÿ. It is an extra brut champagne, which means it contains little sugar. It has a pink color, obtained through a short maceration of the grapes. The taste is elegant and fruity with notes of strawberries, raspberries, and citrus. Billecart-Salmon Brut Rosé is a good choice for a festive occasion or as an aperitif. This is a 1.5-liter magnum. Even tastier and more festive.

WINE AND FOOD SUGGESTIONS Tuna tataki with sesame and soy sauce The umami of the tuna and the salty touch of the soy sauce are beautifully balanced by the fresh acidity and red fruit of the champagne. Scallop carpaccio with lime and pomegranate seeds The delicate taste of scallops pairs perfectly with the elegant mousse, while the lime and pomegranate enhance the fruity character of the champagne. Duck breast with raspberry sauce The juicy meat and the fruity sauce complement the red fruit aromas of the Brut Rosé seamlessly, with the acidity of the champagne as a refreshing counterpoint. Smoked salmon with dill and lemon cream The smoky salmon is refreshed by the lively bubbles, and the lemon cream complements the fresh notes of the champagne beautifully. Raspberry tart or macarons with red fruit This rosé champagne also shines with a light dessert, especially red fruit desserts, thanks to its subtle sweetness and fresh acidity. In Perfect Harmony with Pierre Hermé Pastry Chef, Maison Pierre Hermé “ The first time I had the opportunity to taste the Brut Rosé cuvée, and it was a long time ago now, was at the restaurant of Alain Passard. What I liked straight away was the vinous dimension of this cuvée. You can sense that behind the champagne there is a real wine there. Next it begins to unveil itself more intimately, with notes of citrus fruits and red berries which are more subtle and elegant. This cuvée showcases the mastery and knowledge of balance. It's this subtle delicateness, born from harmony and finesse which I like in the Brut Rosé. For me, this champagne is an ideal partner to accompany the desserts that I create. For me, this champagne can be drunk at any point, breakfast lunch or dinner ray of sunlight that transcends the beauty of the moment. ”
