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.

TASTING NOTES

On the eye: A pale gold hue with bright, luminous highlights, naturally enhanced by a fine, abundant and lively effervescence.

On the nose: Refined notes of stone fruits (nectarine and mirabelle plum), blueberries, and delicate white and violet flowers. Subtle chalky nuances and elegant hints of anise-spiced Alsatian biscuits complete the aromatic profile, revealing a refreshing, precise, and sophisticated purity.

On the palate: : A creamy and inviting attack, supported by refined brioche notes, leads into an energetic mid-palate marked by chalky nuances, delicate white flowers, and hints of poached pear. The finish is beautifully persistent and sapid, revealing elegant notes of almond, peach, and chalk, with a finely chiseled structure.
