When you've been making internationally renowned champagne for 206 years you don't have to rock the boat, but that's exactly what Grand Marque (Great Brand) Billecart-Salmon has done with the new releases of their flagship non-vintage champagnes. The Brut Rose, soon to be called "Le Rose," is a blend of 43% Chardonnay, 33% Pinot Noir, and 24% Meunier, but now incorporates a perpetual blend (43%, 2014-2018) for the first time, adding depth and complexity, and the dosage has dropped from 9g/l to 5.1g/l, resulting in a much drier and more refined style of champagne. In addition, the base vintage (57%) is from the fantastic 2019 "solar" harvest, which produced ripe grapes with high levels of acidity. Wines were fermented in stainless steel tanks went through partial malolactic fermentation to preserve the freshness of the 2019 vintage. Disgorged at the end of 2022. If you're already a fan of Billecart prepare to love them even more. If you haven't tried Billecart-Salmon before, it's time to discover this legendary Grand Maison.
