Description of Tasting:

SOLD OUT - Email the shop to be added to the waiting list

It’s hard to believe that the last time we hosted the good folks from Billecart-Salmon was fall of 2019. On the one hand, it’s been too long. On the other hand, over the past 5+ years the quality of Billecart-Salmon Champagnes has soared even higher! As you’ll taste for yourself when you join us for this special class with Pierre Chichportiche of Billecart-Salmon and seven terrific Champagnes.

Billecart is one of France's benchmark family-owned wineries.  Founded by Nicolas Francois Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon in 1818, today the family's 6th generation is at the helm. And, as Antonio Galloni says in Vinous, “"Mathieu Roland-Billecart continues to forge his own path at the family’s estate. Under his thoughtful leadership, today Billecart-Salmon offers a decidedly contemporary view of what Champagne is and what it can be. There is a great focus on quality, that is evident.”

And, he added earlier this year, “Quite simply, the Champagnes here have never been better. Of course, the flagship wines are terrific, but the biggest changes are at the other end of the spectrum, among the entry-level offerings.” As you’ll taste for yourself as we cover the Billecart line-up from top to bottom, tasting:

Champagne Charles Le Bel Inspiration 1818 Brut NV (new wine!)
Billecart-Salmon Champagne Brut Reserve NV (Vinous 92 points)
Billecart-Salmon Champagne Le Rose NV (Vinous 92 points)
Billecart-Salmon Extra Brut Sous Bois NV (Vinous 95 points)
Billecart-Salmon Blanc de Blancs Cuvee Louis Salmon 2012 (Vinous 97 points)
Billecart-Salmon Cuvee Nicolas Francois 2012 (Vinous 95 points)

As always, we'll serve fizz-friendly snacks to enjoy with the wines and have plenty of great information and Q&A time during the session.  We expect this class to sell out quickly, so right now's the time to reserve your seats online, by calling us at 703.356.6500 or just stopping by the store.
