BILLECART-SALMON
Billecart-Salmon, Cuvée NFB--Vintage 1998
Tasting note: The 1998 Cuvée Nicolas Francois Billecart (60 Pinot, 40 Chardonnay) is another beautiful wine. The aromas are especially captivating and highly suggestive of Pinot, but the Chardonnay seems to take center stage on the palate, where the fruit is highly expressive. Like the Blanc de Blancs, the wine saw 50 malolactic fermentation and only 5 of the wine was aged in oak as the estate was in its early days of using oak and wisely chose a moderate approach. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2018. 94 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #180, December 2008
