Billecart-Salmon
In 1818 Nicolas Francois Billecart and his spouse Elisabeth Salmon founded their Champagne House in Mareuil-sur-Ay, where the Billecart family had been established since the 17th century. At this time they reclaimed the coat of arms of their ancestor, Pierre Billecart, counsellor to the parliament of the King of France.
Some 200 years later the family has remained loyal to Mareuil-sur-Ay. Currently the seventh generation of the descendants run the Champagne House maintaining its independence.
Billecart-Salmon works some 30 hectares itself and is supplied by grapes from a total area of 140 hectares in 35 individual crus. Ninety percent of the grapes come from a radius of 20 km around Epernay.
The Pinot Noir and Chardonnay come from the Montagne de Rheims and Cote de Blancs respectively. Pinot Meunier comes from the right bank of the Marne Valley near Epernay and from the Leuvrigny region.
