Billecart Salmon Nicolas Francois Brut 2008
This exceptional cuvée was created in 1964 as a tribute to the House’s founder. It results from the blending of Grands Crus
from the classified Côte des Blancs vineyards (Chardonnay) and the Montagne de Reims (Pinot Noir). Its vinification, partially
in traditional oak casks, underpins the generous character of this fine, elegant and rich wine.
