BILLECART-SALMON
Not only wine book authors, but television wine presenters, trade wine magazines and Denis Lillee etc. all regard Billecart-Salmon as THE champagne producer. In 1999, more than 150 wine experts met to choose the best champagnes made since 1945. Cristal, Vintage Krug, Dom Perignon were the favourites. The assembled multitude chose two Billecart vintages as first and second. Why? Their champagnes manage to combine purity, elegance, creaminess and depth of flavour. To quote Hugh
Johnson’s Pocket Book of Wine‘ an exemplary Champagne House’ or Jancis Robinson ‘I tasted eighteen Non-Vintage Champagnes from famous houses last week and Billecart -Salmon was the most impressive’. The bible on Champagne by Tom Stevenson says ‘Billecart-Salmon offers one of the strongest ranges of high-quality champagnes available’. 20% of Billecart’s production makes Rosé. The Billecart Vintage and Non Vintage Rosé are rated the best worldwide. The Times advised lovers to choose the Non-Vintage on Valentine’s Day. The presence of Billecart-Salmon on an establishment’s list has been described as’ a sure indicator of the management’s approach to quality’. We are glad to list them.

MONTAUDON
The influential Wine Spectator magazine scored the Montaudon Reserve Premier Brut first at a tasting which included most major champagne houses’ non-vintage wines (but not Billecart). This left Roederer, Pol Roger and Moet behind. The wines are noted for their more full-bodied and toasty style. Demi-Sec is effectively a medium dry Champagne and can prove popular with customers looking to avoid a bone dry finish.
