Billecart Salmon Le Reserve NV

The Le Réserve Brut NV represents the beating heart of Champagne Billecart-Salmon’s style, the wine that best expresses the House’s commitment to finesse, purity, and timeless balance. A classic blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay sourced from carefully selected crus, it offers both approachability and depth, making it a benchmark non-vintage Champagne.

In the glass, it shows a pale golden hue, animated by an elegant bead of persistent bubbles. The bouquet is refined and precise, opening with fresh notes of pear, apple, and citrus zest, before revealing layers of almond, brioche, and a subtle floral lift. There is an underlying minerality that immediately signals the chalk and limestone soils from which the fruit is drawn.

On the palate, the wine is lively yet composed, with flavours of orchard fruit, lemon curd, and white peach unfolding over a chalky backbone. The Pinot Noir brings structure, Pinot Meunier adds generosity and roundness, while Chardonnay delivers its signature brightness and tension. The balance between fruit, acidity, and texture is seamless, creating a Champagne that is both vibrant and refined.

The finish is clean and persistent, leaving delicate echoes of citrus and pastry. This is a Champagne that captures the essence of celebration yet remains a serious wine for connoisseurs.

Le Réserve Brut NV is the gateway into Billecart-Salmon’s world of elegance, a wine that sets the tone for the House’s prestige cuvées and remains one of the most consistently admired non-vintage blends in Champagne.
