Billecart-Salmon : Les Rendez-Vous de Billecart-Salmon N°4 et Numero Cinq

The Rendez-Vous of Billecart-Salmon N°4 and Five: the beauty of single-varietal

The property

Since its creation in 1818 by the spouses Elisabeth Salmon and Nicolas-François Billecart, the Champagne Billecart-Salmon House has remained independent, preserving for 7 generations the entirety of its know-how and the demand for the quality of its cuvées.

The vineyard

The vineyard of the Billecart-Salmon House extends from the Côte des Blancs to the Montagne de Reims over nearly 100 hectares. The vines are cultivated and cared for in a traditional way to approach an authentic fruit and reflect the quality of its Champagne terroir.

The duo

Precise, unprecedented and daring, these "Rendez-vous" cuvées are born from the desire to honor an exceptional terroir and a Champagne grape variety combined with the art of winemaking in its most meticulous and demanding form.

The Billecart-Salmon House invites you today to meet alongside two exceptional cuvées: The Rendez-Vous of Billecart-Salmon N°4 and The Rendez-Vous of Billecart-Salmon Five.
