Tradition and modernity are both integral to the viniculture at Billecart-Salmon. The House of Billecart-Salmon endeavours to distance itself from passing fads, yet manages to stay in tune with modern tastes. Billecart-Salmon has always valued the appreciation and loyalty bestowed upon it's wines by great chefs, sommeliers, reviewers end ambassadors of Champagne. The exceptional Cuvee Nicolas Francois was created in 1964 as a tribute to the House's founder. It results from the blending of Grands crus from the classified Cote des Blancs Chardonnay vineyards and the Montagne de Reims Pinot Noir. Its vinification, partially in traditional casks, underpins the generous character of this elegant wine.
