Tasting Notes
40% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir, 30% Pinot Meunier. The Rosé that brought the world to their knees. Billecart-Salmon's Champagne Rosé helped land a spot on the maps in regards to the appreciation of the pink bubbles. Stylistically the wine is predominately chardonnay lightness and elegance with no skin contact during maceration. Pinot Noir is blended in as a red wine for the light, unique color, and red fruit flavors, and it consists of 3 vintages with up to 40% reserve wines.
Critical Reviews
"This is clearly one of my favorite rosé Champagnes out there. I love the freshness and clarity in the wine, from its light pink color to crisp acidity and minerality, a chalky character on the finish. It's full-bodied and dense yet agile with amazing length and beauty. Refreshing and vibrant. As it warms, it gives you delicate pinot noir character like Aloxe-Corton or another excellent appellation." ~95 Points, James Suckling.
“A lively rosé Champagne with pleasing, citrusy juiciness to the flavors of steeped raspberry, white peach, and blanched almond. A subtle thread of chalky minerality winds through the finish. Drink now through 2023.” ~92 Points, Wine Spectator.
“The palest of rosés, this is an elegant, structured wine. Its dryness is balanced by the fine apple and red-currant fruits and the strong sense of minerality. Fragrant and lightly structured, this fine bottling is ready to drink.” ~92 Points, Wine Enthusiast.
“Based on the 2016 vintage, the new NV Brut Rosé from Billarcart-Salmon has turned out nicely, mingling notes of red berries and plums with notions of peach, dried flowers, and orange rind. Medium to full-bodied, pillowy, and elegant, it's bright and charming, with a generous core of fruit, racy acids, and a pinpoint mousse. Giving and demonstrative, it's already drinking well.” ~90 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate.
“The blend is 40% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir and 30% Pinot Meunier. With an intense bouquet of raspberry, flowers, and lemon, this cuvée possesses a straight, pure, and clean palate with vinosity and tension. Dosage: 9g/l.” ~90 Points, Decanter.
