Product Description:
Precision, purity and poise in every glass.
Billecart-Salmon Le Réserve is a Champagne that walks the line between structure and subtlety, crafted from Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Meunier sourced from the finest sites across the region. This Extra Brut release is built on balance, layering brightness and minerality with serious depth.
More than 50% reserve wines—spanning 15 vintages—form the backbone of the blend. With 50 months on lees and a low dosage, it’s an expression of purity that speaks clearly of its origins: the richness of the Vallée de la Marne, the precision of the Montagne de Reims, and the lift of Grand Cru Chardonnay.
Drink now or let it evolve. The bottle holds for 5 to 6 years, with extended potential in larger formats. Best served at 8–10°C as a sharp aperitif or with delicately prepared seafood, shellfish, or white meats.
