Winemaker's Notes:

The quintessential Champagne and the standard bearer of Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte.

Assemblage: 20% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir, and 40% Pinot Meunier.

Appearance: a golden yellow color.

Aroma and bouquet: a floral nose with apple, pear, almond and hazelnut notes.

Palate: an elegant and well-balanced Champagne.

"Fresh citrus aromas with a whiff of clove. Soft and somewhat full on the palate with ripe peach and brown sugar flavors. Fresh acidity kicks up in the close coupled with a drying flintiness."

About Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte:

Nicolas Feuillatte created Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte in 1976 as an exclusive Reserve Champagne that today remains the guardian of Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte's quality and style. In 1986, Nicolas Feuillatte created a partnership with the Centre Vinicole de la Champagne, the largest association of growers in Champagne, situated in the heart of the vineyards, near the small Grand Cru village of Chouilly on the outskirts of Epernay.

Nicolas Feuillatte Champagnes are the exclusive issue of Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards and all cuvees are distinguished by the rich full expression of Champagne's unique terroirs.
