Billecart-Salmon - A House's Evolution

Seminar format

This guided wine seminar and tasting masterclass focuses on Champagne Billecart-Salmon through the lens of the house’s history, legacy, and recent evolution. The session is described as a one-hour masterclass seminar, giving the format a defined instructional frame rather than a general walk-around tasting.

The seminar is organized by Pressoir / La Fête du Champagne as part of La Fête du Champagne New York City 2025. That context places the session within a named Champagne-focused New York City program, while the individual seminar centers specifically on Billecart-Salmon.

Featured wines

The tasting focus includes the evolution and fine-tuning of the house’s flagship non-vintage cuvée, identified as Brut Réserve / Le Réserve. The program also includes a tasting of the 2012 Cuvée Nicolas François, giving the session two named wine subjects: the flagship non-vintage cuvée and a specific vintage cuvée.

Host and access

Mathieu Roland-Billecart is the host and speaker for the seminar. He is listed as CEO at Maison Billecart-Salmon, connecting the presentation to the Champagne house being discussed rather than to an outside moderator or general wine educator.

The event takes place at Pier Sixty, Chelsea Piers, New York, NY, in New York City. Admission is offered exclusively to American Express Platinum Card and Centurion Members, so eligibility is a material planning detail for anyone considering the seminar.
