Champagne Billecart-Salmon '250th Anniversary' Extra Brut 2018
It all started in 1818 when Nicolas François Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon were married, marking the creation of their Champagne House. This has been a family story since the beginning with Louis Salmon, brother of Elisabeth and a passionate oenologist, getting involved in the creation of the wines.
Thus, over 7 generations, each member of the family has endeavoured to continue the family tradition, staying faithful to the same motto: "Give priority to quality, strive for excellence".
To mark the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence of the United States, Maison Billecart-Salmon is honored to celebrate a historic bond. The U.S. was among the House’s very first export markets, inspired by the bold and visionary ambition of Charles Billecart, whose early pursuit of greatness led him beyond the Atlantic. Created exclusively for the American market, this cuvée embodies a shared spirit of independence, audacity, and enduring excellence. In this spirit, and for this once-in-a-lifetime celebration, Maison Billecart-Salmon selected an exceptional vintage marking the House’s 200th harvest.
