Billecart-Salmon

The Billecart-Salmon story begins with the wedding of Nicolas François Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon in 1818. They began producing champagne, hiring Elisabeth’s brother, Louis, as a winemaker. The Billecart-Salmon champagne house is located in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, France, and is one of the few houses still owned by the family. Unlike many houses, Billecart-Salmon is well known for favoring Pinot Meunier in its blends. In fact, its flagship wine, Brut Rosé Champagne, contains around 30% Pinot Meunier.
