"This is by far my favorite rosé: so fresh and mouth-watering .... It is a blend of 35% Pinot Noir, 35% Pinot Meunier and 30% Chardonnay, cold-fermented as a red wine in stainless steel .... The intensely flowery bouquet is followed by a palate crammed with strawberry and dried flower flavours, then a joyous finish."
96 James Halliday
“Billecart is a shining beacon for rosé of elegance and character, and its lofty reputation is secure when it unleashes wines like this 2018 base. A pretty pale salmon hue heralds a rosé that captures the mood of Mareuil-sur-Ay pinot noir and meunier; perfectly elegant, while delivering no shrotage of character, presence and undeviating persistence. Red fruits are the unabashed theme here, celebrating the expression of the ripe and pure 2018 season in fresh cherries, raspberries, wild strawberries—you name it! There's a compelling touch of cracked pink pepper, and a lift of rose petal, too. Succulent and caressing yet tangy and lively, a wonderful beam of pink grapefruit acidity is underlined by confident, prominent, salty chalk minerality of magnificent form. Line and length to boot confirm another benchmark Billecart Rosé...and I am completely besotted!" 95

"The NV Champagne Brut Rose is an attractive pale salmon hue, with a fresh perfume of wild strawberry, ripe peach, white and red flowers, a hint of tropical fruit, and grapefruit. The palate is rounded, with fruit up front and through the mid-palate, and it has a silky and fresh lift. There is a wonderful ease and drinkability to this wine, which delivers balance and finesse.” 94
