Press / Wine Critic's Reviews
 
Notes from the Winemaker:

The production secrets and the vinification method of this cuvée go back to the origins of the House of  BILLECART-SALMON and have been handed down for seven generations. The Brut Rosé is a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier  and Pinot Noir vinified as red wine.

Appearance: Its pale and bright pink colour is adorned with warm glints of gold and its delicate slowly rising bubbles give it  a persistent mousse.
 
Aroma:  This cuvée unveils a subtle aroma leading to an elegant, delicate bouquet of fine notes of red fruits and zest of citrus fruits.

Palate: Its special method of vinification gives this cuvée a light, elegant flavour, followed by a fresh finish with a taste of raspberry.  

Serving: This rosé champagne 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 flavours.



Ratings & Reviews

94 Points - The Wine News:
"Light copper-orange hue; active stream of small bubbles. Enticing scents of bread dough, caramel and buttery fragrances. Soft entry with creamy vanilla, a nice balance of grains and light, malty nuances. A cleansing, racy grapefruit-inspired finish with pleasant, sweet overtones." (Dec 2008/Jan 2009)

92 Points & "Editor's Choice" - Wine Enthusiast Magazine:
"A bone-dry but delicious wine, with red fruits and a beautiful onion-skin color that just hints at rosé. Lovely acidity completes the serious and highly enjoyable wine. Imported by Robert Chadderdon Selections." - R.V. (12/1/2005)

92 Points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar:

"Light orange.  Tangerine, pear and flowers on the nose, which is complicated by a note of fennel.  Broad and sappy but dry, with lively orange and strawberry flavors and a subtle note of spice cake.  Weightier on the finish, which features an exotic note of spicy herbs.  This Champagne’s delicate touch will make it work well with simple seafood dishes or even sashimi." - Josh Raynolds (Dec '10)

90 Points - Wine Spectator Magazine:
"A coiled spring of a Champagne, with its berry and bread dough notes locked up in the structure. This needs time or food to mellow and reveal its charms. Good length, with a candied cherry aftertaste. Best from 2006 through 2009." –BS (11/15/2005)

90 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"The NV Brut Rose emerges from the glass with the essence of freshly cut flowers, berries and minerals in a mid-weight, gracious style. It shows gorgeous inner perfume, along with persistent notes of chalkiness that frame the long, sublime finish. Year in, year out, this estate’s NV Brut Rose is one of the most consistently outstanding wines in the region. This is Lot 337014 -3671A. Disgorged June 30, 2010. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2015.

This is a fine set of new releases from Billecart-Salmon. I admire these Champagnes for their trademark crystalline purity and exceptional sense of balance." - Antonio Galloni (12/2010)

94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"Billecart-Salmon is one of my favorite Champagne houses, and their non-vintage Rose (Lot #L85547401905M) is a consistent winner. A delicate pink color is accompanied by gorgeous sweet cherry, strawberry, and mineral-like scents, assertive medium-bodied flavors, a delicate, crisp personality, and surprising depth as well as persistence. A beautiful berry character in the finish adds to this impeccable rose’s captivating style." - Antonio Galloni (12/2005)
