Billecart-Salmon 2000 Cuvée Nicolas François Billecart Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- Cellar Selection
- $90
A wine that strikes a great balance between its intense fruitiness and a pure steely character. It makes it a dry Champagne, with the richness of a great wine. It has weight, intensity and several years more aging.

Billecart-Salmon 1996 Cuvée Nicolas Francois Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- $120
A very dry style of Champagne that needs food. At this stage, this wine is young, with vibrant acidity and dense, green fruit. But it has a long future ahead of it, and shortly should show some toast and maturity. Serve this with fish, and appreciate its qualities even more. Imported by Robert Chadderdon Selections.

Billecart-Salmon 1999 Brut Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay (Champagne)
- $120
A beautifully crisp wine, very mineral, with its citrus and green apple flavors given a fine texture of bright acidity. It is still so young, with just a hint of toast to show some maturity. The finish is shockingly fresh.

Billecart-Salmon NV Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Brut Chardonnay (Champagne)
- $65
From five grand cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs, this 100% Chardonnay is a great wine, with some toast and almond flavors showing good bottle age, along with freshness, finesse, ripe white fruits and a structured, lingering aftertaste. Imported by Robert Chadderdon Selections.

Billecart-Salmon 1998 Blanc de Blancs Brut Chardonnay (Champagne)
From a relatively open vintage, this is a wine that is generous, rounded, full of green fruits, and balanced with a ripe texture. It has weight, but has more to do with sheer pleasure. It could age, maybe over 5 years, but its nutty hints show it is ready to drink.

Billecart-Salmon NV Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut Chardonnay (Champagne)
Crisply dry, and very fresh, this is dominated by green, tangy fruits, pink grapefruit and a core of minerality. It has a lightness, but it does need to age, for its acidity is still massive.
— R.V.

Billecart-Salmon NV Brut Rosé Sparkling (Champagne)
- $75
A dry rosé, freshly tasting of red currant fruits, laced with beautifully refreshing acidity. The wine has some weight, but it has more of an elegant, dancing lightness.

Billecart-Salmon NV Brut Rosé Sparkling (Champagne)
- Editors' Choice
- $68
A bone-dry but delicious wine, with red fruits and a beautiful onion-skin color that just hints at rosé. Lovely acidity completes the serious and highly enjoyable wine. Imported by Robert Chadderdon Selections.
