This is the second ever Brut Rose Vintage released by Billecart-Salmon

THE VINTAGE

The year 2015 brought ideal conditions for flowering and harvest, though marked by heat and drought, which contributed to a wine of remarkable fruit intensity and power. Its true strength lies in its length, juiciness, and the presence of exotic spices. Observing its evolution on the lees over a nine-year period was as thrilling as it was inspiring. The result is a wine that rightfully earns its place among the distinguished offerings of the Billecart-Salmon stables—a rare and distinguished cuvée, worthy of recognition and celebration on any occasion.
