Billecart-Salmon Cuvée Nicolas-François 2008 (75cl)

Billecart-Salmon Cuvée Nicolas-François 2008 is a prestige Champagne created in 1964 in honour of the house's founder. It blends 60% Pinot Noir from Premiers and Grands Crus of the Montagne de Reims and the Grande Vallée de la Marne with 40% Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs. Partially vinified in oak barrels, the 2008 vintage shows depth, minerality, tension and vinosity. It pairs well with roast Bresse poultry or veal chop with chanterelles. The wine has a ageing potential of more than 10 years. Its bright robe, nose rich in orchard fruits and floral notes, and palate of raspberry, quince, lemon, fig and liquorice give it rare complexity.
