Billecart-Salmon Cuvée Nicolas François 2012 is a prestige vintage Champagne named in tribute to the house's founder. The 2012 growing season was initially challenging because of frost and hail, then rescued by a warm, sun-drenched August and September. The wine is a blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay from Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards, with 17% of the blend vinified in oak barrels. It was aged on its lees for 10 years and disgorged in May 2023, with an Extra Brut dosage of 3.8 g/L.
