Antonio Galloni
The 2002 Cuvee Nicolas Francois Billecart is outrageously beautiful. The ripeness of the Chardonnay is front and center in a Champagne that delivers the goods, big-time. An infusion of apricot, orange peel, creme brulee, chamomile, hazelnut and honey give the 2002 its racy, exotic personality. I enjoy it most with bottle age, but the 2002 is undeniably beautiful right now. The 2002 is a stunning NFB. The blend is 60% Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims and the Vallee de la Marne and 40% Chardonnay from the Cote des Blancs, done partially in oak (20%). Dosage is 4 grams per liter. 96 points
