Radiant straw-gold elegance, delicate and fresh. Some would say peachy, with subtle hints of blanched almonds and preserved lemons. Very classy and hopelessly easy to drink.
A Champagne House with 200 years of history born by the marriage of Nicholas Francois Billecart and Elizabeth Salmon in 1818. Now run by 7th generation Mathieu Roland-Billecart who continues to pursue excellence and quality at every step of the Champagne’s journey.
We are so proud to be making our very own history with Billecart-Salmon, it being our terrace Champagne from the outset, with loyal customers who return simply to enjoy a glass of this decadent fizz a stone’s throw from Padstow harbour, and as ambassadors of this fine and focused Champagne House showcasing a range of their Champagnes. Now there’s reason enough to raise a glass, santé!
