    Overview

    Billecart-Salmon Carafe

      
    Inspired by the original Billecart-Salmon bottle which was created in 1818, this decanter allows the champagne to open up and reveal all of its aromas.

    Decant the champagne by pouring it gently along the sides of the decanter, and this simple operation will allow the champagne to open and will soften the effervescence.

    The additional finesse and depth brought by decanting can be appreciated from the first sip.

    Background Information:
    Billecart-Salmon, a medium-size Champagne House in Mareuil-sur-Ay, was founded in 1818 by the original owners Nicolas Francois Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon who combined their names on marriage to create the brand. It is one of the few remaining Champagne houses to remain family owned.
     
    Most of Billecart-Salmon's fruit comes from a small vineyard holding, though this is supplemented with grapes bought in from the Marne Valley and the Montagne de Reims. Meticulous production techniques, from the use of their own cultured yeast to its long, slow, cool fermentation, ensure that the family has 100% control of production.
     
    Billecart-Salmon is renowned for the quality of its delicate Rose, whilst the Brut Reserve (a blend of three vintages) is a beautifully harmonious and balanced wine. All have the ability to age very well.
     
    The Cuvee Nicolas-Francois Billecart 1959 won the title in the Champagne of the Millennium 1999, out of 150 of the finest 20th Century champagnes. A magnum of the winning champagne later sold for £3,300.
