The 2008 Cuvée Nicolas François Billecart is a masterful blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay from grand cru vineyards, partially vinified in oak and aged over 12 years on the lees. It is a Champagne of stunning clarity and tension, with aromas of lime zest, chalk, brioche, and white flowers. The palate is sculpted and intense, showing laser-like acidity, fine mousse, and layered flavors of citrus, almond, crushed stone, and pastry. A wine of extraordinary length and purity, especially age-worthy in magnum format, it stands as a benchmark for the house and the vintage.

Founded in 1818 and still family-owned, Billecart-Salmon is one of Champagne’s most respected maisons, known for its unwavering focus on finesse, balance, and longevity. Located in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, the house has earned a global reputation for elegant, age-worthy wines, combining low-temperature fermentations, extended lees aging, and precision blending to highlight terroir expression. Their prestige cuvées—especially Cuvée Nicolas François—embody the pinnacle of their craftsmanship, offering collectors wines of rare depth and poise.
