Sold Out

Billecart-Salmon Les Rendez-Vous No.3 is an elegant 100% Pinot Meunier Champagne with a refreshing acidity and delicate aromas. Produced in three historic vineyards in the heart of Vallée de la Marne: Leuvrigny, Festigny, and Venteuil. These plots are where Pinot Meunier thrives in the region and expresses itself to the fullest. 

The wine is vinified in stainless steel tanks, aged on lees for over 5 years and is produced using 33% reserve wines from the 2013 vintage.

In its continuous quest for excellence, Billecart-Salmon is constantly experimenting with new methods to further improve the quality of its wines. From this, the Rendez-Vous range was born, aiming to offer a unique tasting experience. Each release will epitomise an exceptional terroir and grape variety, as well as the art of a meticulous winemaking process. 

The House of Billecart-Salmon is located in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, Champagne, France and has belonged to the same family since 1818 when Nicolas François Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon were married, marking the creation of their Champagne House. This has been a family story since the beginning with Louis Salmon, brother of Elisabeth and a passionate oenologist. Over 7 generations, each member of the family has endeavoured to continue the family tradition, staying faithful to the same motto: "Give priority to quality, strive for excellence".

On the nose, the Billecart-Salmon Les Rendez-Vous No.3 Pinot Noir has wonderfully balanced floral sensations which are combined with the summery scents of freshly-cut wheat fields. Refined notes ranging from crisp fruit to juicy citrus are present across the nose. A highly delicate blend through which the character of the Pinot Meunier subtly reveals itself. A sensual and textured mouthfeel leads to an indulgent fluidity that blossoms into deeply delicious, fruity notes of white cherry, pineapple and yellow plums. The finish is enjoyable, lengthening to notes of white pepper with a pleasant tartness of yellow fruit.

A treat for the eyes that glistens and gleams, with a distinctive golden-yellow hue flecked with silver. Always with the customary stream of tiny bubbles, so perfectly channelled in the centre of the glass.

A sensual textured mouthfeel leading to an indulgent fluidity that blossoms into deeply delicious, fruity notes (white cherry, pineapple and yellow plums). The blissful sensation of reaching a certain pleasure point, of flying high with senses elevated and honed. Finally, a finish that is just as enjoyable, lengthening to notes of white pepper with a pleasant tartness of yellow fruit.

Wonderfully balanced floral sensations (lime and grasses) combined with the summery scents of freshly-cut wheat fields (grain and straw). It will awaken your senses to refined notes ranging from crisp fruit to juicy citrus. A highly delicate blend through which the character of the Pinot Meunier subtly reveals itself.
Served at cellar temperature (10/12°), you may wish to consider pairing it with a veal and foie gras pie or a Bresse Pâté en croute.
