Maison Billecart-Salmon unveils 2008 vintage

Maison Billecart-Salmon has unveiled its 2008 vintage, Nicolas François, a blend of great Crus from the classified vineyards of Montagne de Reims and Côte des Blancs.

The vinification of the release was partially in traditional oak casks, and is a reflection of Billecart-Salmon’s ancestral savoir-faire in blending.

The cuvée has existed since 1964 and pays tribute to the founder of the house. 

Aditionally, with Billecart-Salmon’s new digital tool, My Origin, a six-digit code on the back label of the bottle allows buyers to learn more about the release.

Hazel: The second release from Sylva

As the name suggests, we’ve used hazel wood as the hero of this edition alongside other familiar, native broadleaf trees, including silver birch and oak from our own forest.
