About this wine

Cuvée Nicolas François was created in 1964 in honour of the founder of Billecart-Salmon, who established the house in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ in 1818 together with Elisabeth Salmon.

The 2008 vintage blends 83% grand cru and 17% premier cru fruit from Aÿ, Verzenay, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, Le Mesnil, Chouilly and Cramant. Part of the wine was fermented in traditional oak casks, malolactic fermentation was partial, and the wine rested ten years on the lees before a low dosage of 2.9 g/l.

Deep, taut and mineral, it is a grand vintage Champagne from one of the finest years of its decade.
