It is a family-run winery with a majority share owned by the Billecart family and a minority holding is held by the Frey group\, itself a family-owned business – they are owners of Château La Lagune in Bordeaux\, Paul Jaboulet Ainé in the Rhône\, and Château Corton C in Burgundy. \nThe Billecart family still lives on site and there remains a strong sense of long-visioned family continuity at play. Today there’s the seventh generation Mathieu Roland-Billecart overseeing everyday business as CEO\, working closely with Antoine and François. \nChampagne of the Millennium\nOn 12 June 1999\, a jury of international experts came together to judge which champagne would be awarded the grand title of “Champagne of the Millennium” following a blind tasting. \nAmong the 150 champagnes in competition were the two Billecart-Salmon vintages\, the Nicolas François Brut 1959 and the Nicolas François Brut 1961. When the results were announced\, these two vintages took both first and second place \nIn his book The Great Tasting\, Richard Juhlin wrote of the winner: “The perfect champagne\, 1959 Billecart-Salmon\, had everything one would expect of a luxury champagne\, but in a seldom seen concentration and simultaneously with harmonious balance. A totally perfect champagne in its category\, with a smoky\, honey-smooth extremely long taste of walnut\, orange blossom and chocolate. All who ever get to drink this fabulous wine just have to love the pleasure it grants. When you study the end results it is striking to see how obvious the victory was.” \nIt was awarded a final mark of 98.5 out of 100. \nYou can read more about Billecart-Salmon here & about Vintage Billecart-Salmon here. \n\nRosella\nRosella is a casual neighborhood restaurant & wine bar that takes its inspiration from flavours across the Mediterranean\, North Africa & the Middle East. \n\n\nDate: Tuesday\, 25th June\, 2024\nTime: 06:00pm\nLocation: Rosella\nCost: $295 per person (incl.
