Billecart-Salmon - 'Cuvee Nicolas-Francois’ Brut - 2008 | Champagne

COLOR:
Pale gold with fine, persistent bubbles.

NOSE:
The nose is complex and expressive, offering aromas of ripe pear, citrus zest, and white flowers, with underlying notes of brioche, almond, and a touch of honey. As the wine develops in the glass, subtle hints of stone fruit and hazelnut emerge, adding depth and richness.

TASTE:
On the palate, the Cuvée Nicolas François is precise and elegant, with a creamy mousse and lively acidity. Flavors of apple, lemon, and quince are complemented by a mineral backbone and hints of toasted nuts, vanilla, and delicate spice. The wine has a full-bodied structure with a beautifully balanced profile, highlighting the harmony between Pinot Noir’s richness and Chardonnay’s finesse.

FINISH:
The finish is long, crisp, and refreshing, with lingering notes of citrus, brioche, and a subtle saline minerality, making it both luxurious and invigorating.
