Billecart Salmon碧樂卡‧莎樂蒙酒廠創始於1818年，是個家族經營的酒廠，創始人是Nicolas-Francois Billcart和他的舅子Louis Salmon。Billecart葡萄酒很快地打開知名度，行銷至全世界，但卻好景不長，由於在美國紐約代理商的無能，使酒廠蒙受相當大金額的損失。這一跤可摔得不輕，使她一蹶不振長達100年之久，直到1920年，Charles Roland-Billecart把葡萄園賣掉，將資金投資在當時日益增長的香檳業。現在是由孫子Francois Roland-Billecart經營管理，且聲譽與營業額日益增長。
Billecart的風格以”細膩”為主，但唯恐因為細膩而帶來提早老化的現象，她在二次除泥時讓葡萄汁的溫度降到5℃，如此可除去大部份的天然酵母，之後再提高溫度到12℃－15℃，再進行21天的發酵期，這樣就可避免葡萄汁的氧化。

The 2008 Brut Cuvée Nicolas François was disgorged during the third quarter of 2022 with less than three grams per liter. It has a delicate, pure, clean bouquet with aromas of orchard fruits, spring flowers, honey and licorice, with hints of brioche and pastry with aeration. Medium to full-bodied, chiseled and crystalline, with racy acids and a chalky texture, the palate is tense and the finish is long, penetrating and salty. It exhibits perfect Billecart style, yet tension is present, a sign of the vintage. It is a blend of 60% Pinot Noir (sourced from Aÿ, Mareuil and Verzenay) and 40% Chardonnay from Mesnil, Chouilly and Cramant, and it matured 83% in tanks and 17% in old oak barrels.
