Billecart-Salmon Cuvee Nicolas Francois Billecart 2007

This vintage, created for the first time in honour of the founder of the Billecart-Salmon House in 1964, is a blend of Grands Crus exclusively originating from the Montagne de Reims (Pinot Noir) and Côte des Blancs (Chardonnay).

Vinification is in part made in traditional barrels.

The colour is a crystal clear golden yellow, bright with golden shades.

To the nose : very beautiful aromatic range, going from white peach to nectarine, and including Lorraine Mirabelle plum and the purest and most complex tangerine zest.

To the palate : beautiful tension on red fruits brought by the Pinot Noir variety. Touches of citrus like Menton lemon or Florida pink grapefruit, ending on a warm brioche madeleine. The finish is finely resinous with sensations of spice and juniper berries, the whole thing marked by an outstanding, lightly wooden vinosity.
