An independent, family-run business since 1818, Billecart-Salmon offers us champagnes that are resolutely authentic and well-balanced.

The Billecart-Salmon Champagne House needs no introduction. Since its creation, it has sworn to “give priority to quality, aiming for excellence”. Year after year, the consistent quality of Billecart-Salmon champagnes amazes us. The entire range is relevant and atypical.
Each cuvée offers just the right balance between freshness and complexity. The care given to the vines and respect for the environment is no stranger to this. Le Clos Saint-Hilaire even has a draught horse and sheep roaming the rows of vines, promoting soil porosity and biodiversity. The typicity of the site is also fostered in the winery, where each vintage and each grape variety is vinified independently to allow the purest expression of the terroir to shine through.
This meticulous attention to detail at every stage results in the creation of champagnes rich in emotion and delicacy.
