Billecart-Salmon 2018 Vintage Brut Champagne “1776–2026 250th Anniversary Edition” 750ml

A limited commemorative edition of Billecart-Salmon’s Vintage 2018 Brut, this release pairs a highly regarded Champagne house with a once-in-a-generation U.S. 250th anniversary moment. The wine itself delivers classic balance—fresh citrus, brioche, and fine mousse—while the packaging adds strong collectible and gifting appeal.

Origins & Craftsmanship

Produced by Billecart-Salmon, one of Champagne’s most respected family-owned houses, the Vintage 2018 Brut reflects the estate’s hallmark focus on precision, balance, and long aging.

The 2018 vintage was warm and generous, producing wines with ripe fruit and approachable structure while still retaining freshness when handled carefully. Billecart vinifies in stainless steel to preserve clarity and aromatic purity, followed by extended lees aging to build texture and integration.

The blend is based on the classic Champagne trio—Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier—sourced from carefully selected sites across the region, resulting in a wine that balances fruit richness with mineral lift.

The “1776–2026” marking is a special U.S. market commemorative label, celebrating the 250th anniversary of American independence—adding a distinct collectible dimension to an already strong vintage Champagne.
