Ken Forrester celebrates 10 years of bringing Billecart Salmon to South Africa.
The story begins with the wedding of Nicolas Francois Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon. From this marriage was born The Champagne House BILLECART-SALMON, founded in 1818 in Mareuil-sur-Ay. Some 200 years later, the seventh generation of the descendants manages the champagne House, maintaining the legend of this "spirit of Champagne", the passion of the grape cultivated as a philosophy around three principal values: "finesse, balance and elegance". The House is proud of its past and roots, but is resolutely turned to the future and thanks to Ken Forrester Wines, Billecart Salmon bubbles have been enjoyed by South Africans for the past 10 years.
