Champagne Billecart-Salmon — Attraction in Épernay

Amazing place! Amazing Champagne! WOW!!

You know there has been very few places that get to a large scale production but still keep that small business feel of the human touch, which some of the other places have lost. Writing a review now though I've visited the house in June of last year.

The house runs tours once or twice a day for a small group of people with a tasting of 5 or 6 of their champagnes from the most basic Extra Brut to the most exclusive Nicolas Francois Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon. The house grounds are kept in pristine condition and have some the best plots on which the grapes are grown right next to the founder's house. The house from what we were told is still occupied, which is wonderful to see that the owners are still involved in some little way with their ancestor's creation.

The cellars are amazing and are a must to visit. And champagne!!... Oh the...

Our tour and degustation at Billecart Salmon was our favorite experience during our last trip to France. Our guide was a wealth of information, and we were able to see vines being pruned in the vineyard along with our excellent tour of the production facilities. The care that this family house extends to all aspects of its champagne processes explains why their products share a delightful finesse I simply don't find in larger producers' bubbly. In a word, their champagnes are exquisite.Thank you Billecart for providing us with an unparalleled opportunity to learn about and enjoy your...

A great family-run house. Exclusive and excellent champagne. Friendly when they know you are coming! We had a 3 hour tour and tasting which was fantastic. You really get to see the process and stepping into the Clos out the back is magic.

Make sure you book and know the champagne already before visiting. This is an advanced tour for fanatics!

P.S. There is a lovely square on the canal just 100metres up...
