NV Billecart-Salmon, Le Rose

With its ubiquitous pink label, Billecart's NV Brut Rosé is one of the most recognizable bottles in all of Champagne. It is so important for wines like this to be good, as they are symbols for the region. This release is especially fine. Cranberry, pink grapefruit and white flowers caress the palate. Deep, pliant and so expressive, the Brut Rosé is terrific. There is a touch of angularity, but that is easy to look past for a Champagne that delivers so much pleasure. Dosage is 4.9 grams per liter. Disgorged: Second Quarter 2024. ~ (92) Antonio Galloni , Vinous 4-25-2025

A lip-smacking Champagne, with grapefruit peel–infused acidity and a lively, satiny mousse, plus notes of crunchy white peach and pear fruit, blanched almond, nutmeg, orchard blossoms and pickled ginger. Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir. Disgorged spring 2024. Drink now. ~ (91) Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator 9-8-2025
