"A restrained and elegantly pretty rosé of pale salmon hue and very subtle strawberry hull and white cherry fruit. Delightfully understated and elegantly persistant, it carries its grace and poise amidst a taut profile of refined acidity and soft mineral presence" Tyson Stelzer, The Champagne Guide, 2017

"Beautifully balanced and delicate – a top example of the style" Tyson Stelzer, Australia’s leading writer on champagne, Taste Champagne 2017

"Has richness, volume and presence. Dry to taste and medium-bodied, the palate has poised succulence and richness of soft red berry fruits, quince and red florals, integrated with plenty of soft bready-yeasty autolytic complexity. The flavours are mouthfilling, but balanced by mouthwatering acidity and soft effervescence. The wine flows smoothly and gently to a long, nuanced finish. This is a harmoniously full and gently concentrated Rosé Champagne" Raymond Chan, Jun 2018

"Finely meshed and elegant, with mouth-watering acidity and satiny texture carrying the delicate flavours, offering a clean, minerally finish" Wine Spectator

"This superb Champagne has become my go-to Rosé Champagne because it is so consistent and good" Robert Parker

"Surely the most consistent rosé on the market, with a very strong and loyal following to prove the point. One of those Champagnes you can drink anywhere, any time" James Halliday, The Wine Companion, Top 100 Wines of 2011

"Such an elegant, ethereal wine" Wine Enthusiast, Jan 2013

"This is clearly one of my favorite rose Champagnes out there.  I love the freshness and clarity in the wine.  Its full-bodied and dense yet agile with amazing length and beauty" James Suckling, Jamessuckling.com

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.

Billecart-Salmon Brut Reserve NV (France)

Awarded Gold Medal: New Zealand International Wine Show, 2016

Awarded 93/100 Points: James Suckling, Wine Spectator

Awarded 91/100 Points: Wine Spectator, 2016

"I drink this regularly and always enjoy it. Wonderful aromas of light dough, fresh flowers and sliced pears and peaches. Full-bodied yet agileand fresh, it shows layers of marvelous light tropical fruit and cream with hints of dough on the finish" James Suckling, Wine Spectator

"I tasted 18 current non vintage cuvées of the most famous champagne houses last week blind – a rare treat – and Billecart- Salmon Brut Réserve was the most impressive for me" Jancis Robinson, Master of Wine

Maturity touched with floral freshness for this cuvée that breathes aromas of fresh fruit and ripe pears. A full and accurate flavour combined with a fine freshness and a rich bouquet bear witness to the ageing of this cuvée in the House’s traditional cellars.
