Brut Rosé avec étui

Billecart Salmon
A true icon from the family-run house founded in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ back in 1818, this rosé has charmed lovers of fine fizz for generations. Its delicate salmon-pink hue comes from a touch of still red wine from Les Clos Hauts, blended with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier sourced from the finest Champagne crus. Slow, cool fermentation — the house's signature — preserves wonderfully pure aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry and fresh citrus, carried by a silky, fine-beaded mousse. Elegant, precise and endlessly drinkable, it's perfect for celebrations, summer evenings or simply spoiling yourself. The smart gift box makes it an effortless present.
