This cuvée was created in homage to Nicolas-François Billecart, one of the founders of the house, who was able to pass on his know-how from generation to generation. The Cuvée Nicolas-François Billecart 1990 is a blend of Chardonnay (60%) and Pinot Noir (40%) from the best terroirs of the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs.
