Champagne Billecart-Salmon - Cuvée Nicolas François 2006

Guide VERON des Champagnes 2021
(around 160 euros per bottle)
Mythical champagne

 

 

Aspect:

 

Gold, dense and brilliant.

 

Fine and festive effervescence.

 

Nose:

 

Captivating aromatic universe.

 

The scents of jammy red and black fruits, signatures of the Pinot Noir (60%) chosen in the best terroirs of Champagne, interlace the fragrances of white fruits, characteristic signs of the Chardonnay (40%) from the Côte des Blancs.

Palate:

 

Remarkable presence at the opening, underlined by sensual woody notes thanks to the vinification in barrels of 5% of the base wines and highlighted by beautiful roasted touches, expressions of the radiant maturity obtained by 13 years of ageing on laths of the bottles, before riddling and disgorgement.

 

With this Cuvée Nicolas François created in 1964 in homage to the founder of the house, Florent Nys, cellar master, signs a splendid 2006 vintage.
