Billecart-Salmon Brut Réserve Magnum – iconic Champagne in a majestic format

Billecart-Salmon Brut Réserve Magnum is the epitome of classic Champagne with finesse, depth and perfect harmony. When you choose the magnum format, you don’t just get more wine – you get a Champagne that evolves more slowly, more nuanced and with even greater complexity. It’s the bottle for those special moments, celebrations and dinners where only the best is good enough.

This iconic cuvée is the heart of the House of Billecart-Salmon and a reference point for elegant non-vintage Champagne. Blended from Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Meunier from some of the most coveted terroirs around Épernay, it combines freshness, structure and depth in a style that is both recognizable and timeless.

Brut Réserve is based on grapes from up to 15 vintages and contains more than 50% reserve wine, ensuring continuity, complexity and the distinctive signature of the house. Slow, low-temperature fermentation in stainless steel tanks preserves the pure aromatics of the grapes, while a full 50 months on the lees adds creamy mousse, depth and structure. The result is a Champagne with an impressive balance of fruit, freshness and subtle vinosity.

Tasting notes

Appearance: Light golden color with fine, persistent bubbles and an elegant, rich mousse that emphasizes the wine’s quality and long maturation.

Aroma: Intense and precise nose with white stone fruits, crisp pear and fresh citrus, accompanied by floral nuances and a hint of freshly baked brioche and biscuits.

Taste: Silky smooth and elegant in the mouth. Notes of apple, pear and ripe citrus merge with toasty notes and a subtle minerality. The finish is long, fresh and complex with a sublime balance between richness and finesse.

The history of the house

Founded in 1818 in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, Maison Billecart-Salmon has been synonymous with top-class Champagne for more than 200 years. With the motto “Finesse above all”, the house has retained its family ownership for seven generations and is currently managed by Mathieu Roland-Billecart.

The house has 100 hectares of its own vineyards and collaborates with growers on a further 300 hectares across 40 of Champagne’s most prestigious crus. With uncompromising precision in both field and cellar, they create Champagnes that combine tradition, innovation and terroir – and Brut Réserve Magnum is a brilliant example of this philosophy.
