Why we follow Billecart-Salmon
The estate
A family-owned house, a négociant with significant estate vineyards, founded in 1818 in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and still run by the Billecart-Salmon family — one of the few grandes marques never sold. Mathieu Roland-Billecart is CEO, the seventh generation, with Florent Nys as chef de cave. Denis Blée and his predecessor François Domi shaped the modern style.
The vineyards
Around 100 hectares farmed or controlled across the Marne, supplemented by purchased fruit, with strong holdings in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and the Côte des Blancs.
In the glass
The signature techniques are a long, cold double settling of the must and a cool, slow fermentation, which together give finesse and freshness. Stainless steel is used alongside increasing oak for the prestige cuvées, with low dosage on the top wines. The Brut Rosé is the insider's grande marque rosé, poured at top restaurants worldwide. Le Clos Saint-Hilaire, first made in 1995, is produced in tiny quantities.

How allocations are offered
It records which producers and wines interest you, so we know who to contact when a release is confirmed.
Availability depends on what arrives and how many customers are waiting. In some years there is very little to go round.
Our team considers purchase history, genuine interest and intended enjoyment. We would rather a case went to someone who will open it and tell us what they thought than to whoever asked first.
Change your requests at any time from My allocation requests. Release timing moves with the producer and the vintage, so the months on the release calendar are a guide rather than a promise.
