Tasting Notes:
The blend of the Billecart-Salmon Demi-Sec champagne is identical to that of the Brut Reserve (Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier), however, the dosage is greater.

A beautiful pale gold colour, emitting a constant ballet of fine, regular and persistent bubbles in the flute. Its nose is lively with a hint of delicate white flowers and evolves towards aromas of buttered brioche.

This Demi-Sec champagne is full-flavoured and is a reference for its perfect balance between sugar, alcohol and acidity.
Dosage: 42 g/l

Serving:
Ideal when served with patisseries or chocolate cake; it also turns a brioche afternoon snack into a unique experience.

Background Information:
Billecart-Salmon, a medium-size Champagne House in Mareuil-sur-Ay, was founded in 1818 by the original owners Nicolas Francois Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon who combined their names on marriage to create the brand. It is one of the few remaining Champagne houses to remain family owned.

Most of Billecart-Salmon’s fruit comes from a small vineyard holding, though this is supplemented with grapes bought in from the Marne Valley and the Montagne de Reims. Meticulous production techniques, from the use of their own cultured yeast to its long, slow, cool fermentation, ensure that the family has 100% control of production.

Billecart-Salmon is renowned for the quality of its delicate Rose, whilst the Brut Reserve (a blend of three vintages) is a beautifully harmonious and balanced wine. All have the ability to age very well.
The Cuvee Nicolas-Francois Billecart 1959 won the title in the Champagne of the Millennium 1999, out of 150 of the finest 20th Century champagnes. A magnum of the winning champagne later sold for £3,300.
