Billecart-Salmon, Cuvée NFB--Vintage 2000
Tasting note: The 2000 Brut Cuvée Nicolas Francois Billecart is a big, exuberant wine that explodes from the glass with layers of fruit. French oak has given the wine an additional measure of volume and richness, but without dominating the wines overall balance. Pretty notes of spiciness and minerality add finesse on the close. The Cuvée Nicolas Francois Billecart is 60 Pinot Noir (Mareuil-sur-Ay, Ay, Ambonnay, Verzenay, Mailly) and 40 Chardonnay (Cote des Blancs). In 2000 the wine was aged in barrel (20 and saw batonnage, although it did not undergo malolactic fermentation. 93 points. Antonio Galloni, eRobertParker.com #186, December 2009
