Billecart Salmon Nicolas Francois 2002Billecart Salmon Nicolas Francois 2002 A hint of struck flint reduction makes way for the icy brightness of grapefruit zest, lemon, white peach, then the warmth of figs, and later, yellow summer fruits. A decade in the cellar has set down layers of toast and nuts, even wood spice. Refreshing acidity takes time to uncoil, and minerality rises slowly, super fine, confident and taut, surging on the finish in a cascade of chalk that lingers, undeterred, for minutes.

“There is precision, balance & vibrancy in this champagne & the aromas that greet you are light blue iris, old gold cymbidium orchids & ginger flowers. A beautiful palate awakens with raspberries, morello cherries, ruby grapefruit, pear, white gooseberries, & wild peaches all covered with sweet lime juice.
