Champagne Cuvée Nicolas Francois by Billecart-Salmon, in Magnum format kept in an elegant wooden case, represents a refined tribute to the tradition and mastery of the renowned maison of Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, in the heart of Champagne.
Produced mainly with classic grape varieties from the denomination, this champagne stands out for its depth and complexity, achieved through careful blending and meticulous selection of the grapes, with a predominance of Pinot Noir that gives structure and intensity, balanced by the freshness of Chardonnay. The extended aging on the lees, typical of the Billecart-Salmon maison, gives the wine elegance and finesse, turning each sip into an enveloping sensory experience.
The nose opens with hints of white fruits, delicate flowers, and notes of yeast and toasted hazelnut, while the palate finds a perfect harmony between creaminess and liveliness, with a long and savory finish. Ideal to accompany celebratory moments, it pairs splendidly with dishes based on raw fish, shellfish, and light gourmet cuisine. A great champagne perfect for those looking for elegance and complexity in a prestigious format.
