Very layered and juicy. This was a very hot year for Champagne and a year for Pinot Noir. But this is so fresh and complex. 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay. 10% of the Pinot is fermented in barrel.\" James Suckling, 2014","brand":"Billecart-Salmon","offers":[{"title":"Duty Paid","offer_id":62412788367690,"sku":"HED86808","price":265.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/7696\/2634\/files\/HED86808.jpg?v=1781893776","url":"https:\/\/hedonism.co.uk\/products\/billecart-salmon-cuvee-nicolas-francois-1999","provider":"Hedonism Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
