En hyldest til husets fader.
Cuveé Nicolas Francois Billecart blev skabt i 1964, som en hyldest til grundlæggeren af Billecart-Salmon, Nicolas Francois.
Vinen er sammensat af de ypperligste druer fra Grand Cru marker i Champagne. Det er en sartgylden vin med fine bobler og delikat mousse.
Fyldig duft af tørrede dadler, ristede mandler og kastanjer løftet af raffinerede citrus- og blomsternoter. Smagen er mættet af karamelliseret frugt og vaniljekiks samt en anelse tobak. Rig og vinøs Champagne, som bør serveres til fjerkræ eller kalv med cremet sauce og svampe.

This is a laser-guided Champagne with fabulous energy and intensity with a tight palate, racy acidity and super fine phenolics. It goes on and on. Fine bubbles. Light pine and praline character. One for the cellar. 60% pinot noir and 40% chardonnay. Disgorged 19 July, 2020. Wonderful now, but needs time to come together.

This wine is an absolute joy. It is made from 79% Grands Crus and 21% Premiers Crus, with 60% Pinot Noir coming from the Montagne de Reims and the Vallée de la Marne and 40% Chardonnay coming from the Côte des Blancs. The dosage is 6 g/l and a perfectly-judged 15% was vinified in oak barrels. As always with Billecart NF it spends over ten years relaxing in the cellars in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ before release. In terms of sophistication, elegance and unrivalled precision, this is a wine to buy and treasure. I raved about the 2007 Cuvée Louis earlier this year and this wine is made in a similar vein. This is a sensational vintage for Billecart and NF will outlive Louis given that it has more horsepower under the bonnet. Still a little youthful and closed, there is massive complexity here delivered in the most mesmerising sotto voce voice imaginable. I would love to see this wine in a few years but I think it will be a decade before ’07 NF fully blossoms. I am in complete awe as to how these wines are so fine and so laser-sighted in their youth. NF is a class apart.
