Champagne Billecart Salmon

To maintain the quality of its champagnes, the House pays special attention to the selection of the very best grapes. The excellence of its champagnes rests, above all, on the knowledge of those who rigorously select from vineyards of more than 300 hectares divided between over 40 different Champagne crus. The Maison Billecart-Salmon has preserved ancestral vinification methods handed down from generation to generation which are constantly being perfected. In the fifties, the House established the technique of cold settling combined with the use of stainless steel tanks for a longer fermentation at a lower temperature. Our chai of more than 400 small casks allows the wines to be skillfully enhanced through vinification in oak. In a perpetual quest for excellence, the House has recently built a new chai containing 24 large casks. The bottles themselves are then laid to rest in the original chalk cellars dating back from the 17th and 19th centuries.
