Billecart-Salmon Cuvée Nicolas François Billecart Brut 2008

Description

Billecart-Salmon Cuvée Nicolas François Billecart Brut is a blend of two great grape varieties, Pinot Noir sourced exclusively from the Montagne de Reims and Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs, produced by the Billecart-Salmon winery.

Winemaking

For the Billecart-Salmon Cuvée Nicolas François Billecart Brut, the best grapes are hand-picked individually and separately in the Grand and Premier Crus villages for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Part of the vinification is carried out in traditional barrels and a second fermentation takes place where the wine matures on its lees for 10 years.
Throughout the whole process we try to maintain the varietal characteristics of the grapes and guarantee a slow process where the aromas are extracted and the maximum expression of the varieties is preserved.

Taste

The nose has a good intensity of floral, spicy and mineral aromas. On the palate it is powerful and long, with a moderate and controlled strength, fresh acidity, optimal balance and a superbly integrated carbonic. An exceptional champagne!

A blend of two distinguished, balanced and mature varieties.

This champagne was created in 1964 in honour of the founder of the Billecart-Salmon winery and is the fruit of a blend of grands crus from the communes of the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs.
