Critic Scores

93 // Jeb Dunnuck

"Seven percent red wine added to the blend to make the NV Champagne Brut Rosé, which is based on the 2020 harvest and is 45% Chardonnay, 25% Meunier, and the rest Pinot Noir, with about 45% reserve wine. A classic pink salmon hue, the nose is classic and pretty with notes of fresh peaches, raspberries, roses, and chalky earth. Medium-bodied and rounded, it’s approachable and fresh in style, with lovely purity and a pretty feel throughout. It’s delicious now but has the ability to age with ease over the coming 10 years. Disgorged in the first quarter of 2023, 4.7 grams per liter dosage (although interestingly, they are now including the total grams per liter, in this case 5.3 grams per liter in the final wine)."

92 // James Suckling

"A succulent, delicious and precise brut rosé, made of chardonnay, pinot meunier and pinot noir. It has notes of wild currants, peach skin and mild spices. It’s medium-bodied and vivid with fine bubbles and plenty of succulence. Sour cherries and redcurrants on the palate. Fresh acidity and a comforting, fruity character to the delicious finish."

92 // Decanter

"Based on the 2020 vintage, Billecart-Salmon's signature rosé appears to be on its finest form of recent years under cellar master Florent Nys, full of fragrant, crunchy redcurrant, red cherry and orange fruit with an alluring hibiscus-like floral lift and subtle green peppercorn spicing. The Meunier wraps the intensity of the vintage base in a little softness that keeps the focus on effortless ease (helped by the selection of delicate Chardonnays and young, fresh reserve wines), all adding up to a rosé of immediacy and charm, sweet-natured without sweetness and fragrant without overt fruitiness. 40% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir and 30% Pinot Meunier."

92 // Wine Advocate

"Aromas of rose, peony, red berries and guava preface the NV Brut Rosé, a medium to full-bodied, elegant and vinous Champagne rosé that concludes with a long, ethereal finish enhanced by menthol notes. A blend of 45% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 20% Pinot Meunier, it's based on the 2014 vintage with 46% vins de réserve from nine different vintages and the addition of 6% as a red wine, vinified and matured in stainless steel. Dosage: 4.7 grams per liter."

Description

The rosé style has been a hallmark of Billecart‑Salmon since the house was founded in 1818 in Mareuil‑sur‑Ay, and the non‑vintage Le Rosé remains one of the benchmark pink Champagnes. Sourced from vineyards in the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims, the blend combines Chardonnay for finesse with Pinot Noir and Meunier for red‑berry character. After gentle pressing, the base wines are fermented at cool temperature in stainless steel and kept separate by variety and cru; a portion of still red Pinot Noir from Mareuil‑sur‑Ay is added to achieve the delicate salmon hue. Reserve wines from prior years enhance complexity and consistency. The assemblage then undergoes secondary fermentation in bottle and rests sur latte for over three years before disgorgement and Brut dosage. Bottled at 12% alcohol, this rosé shows fine bubbles, aromas of strawberry, raspberry and citrus along with hints of almond and spice. The palate is dry and precise with creamy texture and a long, chalky finish. Serve chilled as an aperitif or with seafood, and expect it to evolve gracefully over five to seven years.
