Billecart-Salmon

Billecart-Salmon’s story began in 1818 when Nicolas François Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon married, marking the creation of their Champagne house. Louis Salmon, brother of Elisabeth and a passionate oenologist, joined the operation and since then, over seven generations of the family has endeavoured to continue the tradition.

Billecart-Salmon wines as we know them now first appeared in 1958, when Jean, the eldest son of Charles Roland-Billecart (who was the fourth generation running the house), introduced a longer fermentation at a lower temperature and finally a cold settling as part of the vinification in tanks. This technique added freshness and finesse.

Today, the champagnes of Maison Billecart-Salmon comes from an estate of 100 hectares, using grapes from 40 crus of the Champagne region. The majority of the grapes come from a radius of 20km around Epernay, where the Grand Crus of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay co-exist in the vineyards of the Montagne de Reims, the Vallée de la Marne and the Côte des Blancs.
