In 2016 Chef de Cave François Domi retired after 30 years with Billecart and handed over to his deputy Florent Nys who started with the business in 2005. The vineyards are overseen by Denis Blée and all of the team are members of the eight strong \"tasting committee\" along with 6th generation François Roland-Billecart and Antoine Roland-Billecart and fifth generation Jean Roland-Billecart.

One of the key dates of their profound achievements would be year 2017, when they are being certified High Environmental Value and Sustainable Viticulture in Champagne. Through the continue application of sustainable practice, Maison Billecart-Salmon is actively promoting the significance of certification among its partner winegrowers through its certification collective, fostering awareness and understanding. As of 2021, an impressive 75% of its supplies proudly hold the VDC certification.

The distinguished, north-east facing slopes of Verzy and Verzenay take a delightfully fragrant and pure lead, presenting white cherry and strawberry hull that ring out in clear peals like church bells. Age has done nothing to evolve its pitch-perfect high notes, lending just the most subtle nuance of fresh almond. A cuvée to age for another 20 years at least – and it will live effortlessly for 50.
