Wine Advocate 91pt

The latest release of the NV Brut Rose is based on the 2015 vintage and was disgorged with 8.5 grams per liter dosage. Bursting with aromas of red berries, freshly baked bread, pomelo and peach, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with racy acids, pretty fruit tones and a youthfully frothy mousse.

With its ripe texture and delicious red-fruit flavor, this wine has a tangy mineral edge and a fine balance. It offers softness (because of that balance) that veers towards dry. It is a fine apéritif style, rich and ready to drink.

A firm, tangy rose Champagne, with a lively bead, this offers flavors of pink grapefruit sorbet, blood orange and dried thyme, showing a subtle streak of smoky mineral that lingers on the finish.

James Suckling 93pt

A succulent, delicious and precise brut rose, made of chardonnay, pinot meunier and pinot noir. It has notes of wild currants, peach skin and mild spices. It's medium-bodied and vivid with fine bubbles and plenty of succulence. Sour cherries and redcurrants on the palate. Fresh acidity and a comforting, fruity character to the delicious finish.

Vinous Media 91pt

The NV Brut Rose (base 2019) is perfumed and nicely lifted. Crushed rocks, orange peel, grapefruit, jasmine and white pepper abound. The Rose is quite attractive but strikes me as a bit light and ethereal. It's wiry and nervy, but also possesses good energy. This edition is a bit shy today, but time in the glass brings out its inner sweetness and mid-palate pliancy. Reserve wines back to 2014 (43%) round out the blend. Dosage is 5.1 grams per liter. Disgorged: fourth trimester 2022.

A floral aroma and rich citrus and raspberry flavors mark this full-bodied rose Champagne. Its crispness comes from the taut minerality and lemon acidity at the end.

Estate

The Champagnes of Maison Billecart-Salmon are above all created thanks to the knowledge of the men who rigorously cultivate an estate of 100 hectares, obtaining grapes from an area totaling 300 hectares across 40 crus of the Champagne region. The majority of the grapes used for vinification come from a radius of 20km around Epernay, where the Grand Crus of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay co-exist, in the ethereal vineyards of the Montagne de Reims, the Vallée de la Marne and the Côte des Blancs.

Description

An iconic Brut Rose for good reason. Pale salmon in color (of course), full of melon and faintly floral notes, this is around 45% Chardonnay, and the remaining 55% is comprised of Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir. Dosage here is a modest 7 grams per liter of sugar, keeping things dry and crisp. One of the reasons Billecart rosé is so popular today is because they were one of the first houses to really focus on that style, back in 1954.

Tasting notes

A pale yet radiant pink colour adorned with warm glints of gold. This cuvée unveils a subtle aroma leading to an elegant, delicate bouquet of fine notes of red berries and zest of citrus fruits.Its special method of vinification gives this cuvée a light, elegant flavor, followed by a fresh finish with a taste of raspberry. This cuvée is an ideal partner as an aperitif and can also accompany a dish of wild salmon or sushi. For dessert, it will add a sublime touch to red fruit flavors.
