The Champagne Cuvée Nicolas Francois by Billecart-Salmon embodies the elegance and finesse typical of one of the most prestigious maisons of the Côte des Blancs. Produced with a careful selection of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier grapes from the vineyards of the Champagne region, this sparkling wine stands out for its extraordinary complexity and vibrant freshness. The extended aging on the lees gives it a creamy texture and a fine perlage that dances in the glass, anticipating aromatic notes of citrus, bread crust, and light mineral nuances.
On the nose, it expresses itself with intensity and grace, revealing scents of green apple, white flowers, and a delicate touch of dried fruit that evolves on the palate into a perfect balance between acidity and softness. The taste persistence leaves a pleasantly savory and slightly toasted mark, typical of the Burgundian wine tradition that Billecart-Salmon masterfully interprets.
Ideal to accompany fish dishes, shellfish, and refined cuisine, the Champagne Cuvée Nicolas Francois is an authentic expression of the territory and the passion of this cellar in creating bubbles of great personality and harmony.
