Billecart-Salmon is one of the few remaining family-owned grande marques of Champagne. It all began in 1818 when Nicolas François Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon founded a Champagne House that was above all conscious of the excellence of its wines. Since then, every member of the Billecart family has been committed to perpetuating the family tradition through standing by the immutable oath: ‘Give priority to quality, strive for excellence’
