About this product
Billecart-Salmon's prestige cuvée — the Nicolas François Billecart — is a vintage-dated equal blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Grand Cru villages, aged 8+ years on lees. The wine achieves extraordinary complexity: brioche, lemon curd, red currant, ginger, and the Billecart house's trademark mineral precision. One of the finest prestige cuvées in terms of quality-to-price ratio.

Nicolas François Billecart's prestige cuvée — with Pinot Noir richness and Chardonnay precision — achieves the rare combination of Champagne with a main course. The duck's richness softens the wine's acidity; the cherry sauce amplifies the Pinot component; brown butter bridges the wine's toasty complexity. An advanced pairing that demonstrates vintage prestige Champagne's versatility beyond the aperitif.
