The production of the half-bottle Le Rosé Billecart-Salmon
This cuvée is a blend of 45% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir, and 20% Meunier, sourced mainly from the Montagne de Reims and the southern slopes of Épernay. A portion of the Pinot Noir is vinified as red wine, adding subtle nuances and a harmonious structure. Vinification in stainless steel vats preserves the freshness and aromatic expression of the grapes. During 36 months of maturation on lees in the historic cellars of Billecart-Salmon, the aromas develop, gaining depth and complexity. The Extra Brut dosage highlights the purity and balance of this cuvée.
