Merchant's description
Founded in 1818 with the marriage of Nicolas François Billecart to Elisabeth Salmon, Billecart-Salmon is one of the few Champagne houses to remain family-owned. Cuvée Nicolas François was created in 1964 and it is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Not, 83% from Grands Crus and 17% from Premiers Crus. The 2008 is an impressive vintage, tense and mineral, characterised by an elegant vinosity. Presented here in a fabulous magnum bottle.
