Producer Profile
Maison Billecart Salmon was founded in 1818 after the marriage of Francois Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon and today, the business is operated by members of the two families. Billecart Salmon champagne has a long, illustrious history. It was served during the famous World’s Fair in Paris in 1889 and after many years of evolving its techniques and creating exceptional cuvées, Billecart Salmon has become one of the most renowned champagne houses. Their reinvention of the Brut Rose Cuvée has become the iconic cuvée of the Maison.
Nowadays, the 7th generation Mathieu Roland-Billecart runs the house, alongside other members of the family.
Sustainability is a key concern of the maison. Their philosophy is simple: ‘Respect the terroir in order to produce great wines’. Maison Billecart Salmon has obtained the ISO 50001 certification by the APAVE, which demonstrates its commitment to reducing its carbon footprint.
Billecart Salmon champagne prices vary widely according to the different cuvées, usually from £45 to over £1000 for very special releases. This makes their champagne accessible to everyone.
