Billecart’s 2019-based NV Le Blanc de Blancs, vinified in tank and disgorged in June 2025 with a dosage of 3.9 grams per liter, is a great success. Anchored in Chouilly and complemented by wines from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Cramant, it unfolds in the glass with aromas of lemon oil, pear, peach and dried flowers mingled with freshly baked bread. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a concentrated, ample core of fruit and ripe yet racy acidity, concluding with a persistent, chalky finish. The house did not produce a vintage-dated Blanc de Blancs Louis Salmon in 2019, but this cuvée is well worth seeking out as a compelling miniature counterpart. (KK)

Taut and mineral, this fine Blanc de Blancs Champagne brings out the crispness of Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs. Its croissant aroma suggests some bottle age, confirmed in the ripeness of the white fruits and acidity. Drink now. (RV)

An exceptionally elegant, silky and surprisingly delicate champagne. I was expecting power, but this is like a mouthful of shimmering ribbons. An unusual floral fragrance, like the elusive scent of lily of the valley in an early-morning garden. Rich citrus woven into baked pear, tingling with green-apple sherbet. The bubbles float over the wine like cashmere lace. Tremendous purity. And the wine develops in the glass in a way I was not expecting, becoming richer, more dense, beginning to taste of violets and fresh-churned pink clay, of bread-yeast starters and sleepy pools of candlelight. A poet's champagne. (TC)

If you like your Champagne clean and refreshing, this is the best bottle that we have for you. Antoine Billecart insists on fermentations that are slow and cold, and the family has developed its own strain of yeast that can work in super low temperatures, resulting in a Champagne that is light as feather and arcs with electric excitement. This wine delivers all of this without any harsh grain, since it has been aged for over sixty months on the lees... A fabulous treat!

Incredibly delicious, this might be my favorite release of the Billecart BdB that I've had yet. The dosage is just perfect to keep it clean and refreshing without quite going electric and it's just such an easy and perfect bottle. The nose is soft and pretty with lemon candy, a little bruised yellow apple, some fresh crisp green apple. The palate has that perfect acidity pushing through the whole thing and bringing the freshness that you want from a bottling like this. I love it and I'm glad that one of my go-to Champagnes is back.

The Billiecart Salmon Blanc de Blancs is super a super clean, refreshing champagne. On the nose there is a nice bit of brioche, bright Meyer lemons and a small hint of apple. On the palate its very light, mineral and high acid showcasing a long chalky finish. Love the Meyer lemon notes on this guy!

Notes

Audrey Frick's notes on the producer for jebdunnuck.com: "Mathieu Roland-Billecart assumed the position of CEO at this estate in 2019 and represents the seventh generation in his family. The house is based in Maureuil sur Ay, which is also the location of the monopole vineyard of Clos Saint-Hillaire. They source from approximately 300 hectares of vines, of which they own a third. French and Stockingur barrels with medium toast are purchased new and seasoned at the house for three to five years before use. About 80% of production is fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks. Only the best plots are fermented in barrels at cold temperatures, before getting transferred to stainless steel tanks for aging after no more than six months. None of the wines are aged in barrel, and they never allow for malolactic fermentation to occur in barrel." (11/2022)
