Winemaker Notes
A selection of 20-50 single crus are combined in this Cuvée. At Nicolas Feuillatte, the Vintage Blanc de Blancs ages for a minimum of 6 years, although the legislation imposes a minimum aging period of only 3 years.
Subtle pale green hue, with fine and abundant bubbles. The Chardonnay gives off mineral aromas, such as the chalk on which it thrives, or gratifies us with some exotic flavors in more continental climates, including hints of flowers such as may blossom and acacia. You often may find some more subtle scents too, like citrus fruit, pear or even lime blossom. The palate is full-bodied, lively, fresh, and strong.

40 years of unique history, starting with a beautiful story, a story of men. That of Henri MacQuart, pioneer founder of the Centre Vinicole de la Champagne (The Champagne Wine Centre). That of Nicolas Feuillatte, a daring businessman. That of volunteer winegrowers who, together, dare and succeed in a gamble to create a brand of excellence, Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte.
Anchored in the heart of the prestigious Côte de Blancs, our champagnes draw their strength and full flavors from a remarkable array of crus, enhanced by the subtle art of blending. Nicolas Feuillatte champagnes reflect the harmony, finesse and freshness of this unique region. An extensive variety of perfectly ripe grapes make up the champagnes in our range, vinified individually by cru or by area and by grape variety, together with a meticulous selection of Grand Crus and Premiers Crus.
Today Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte is the #1 Champagne in France and #3 in the world. There are over 250 employees working for Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte, based in Chouilly in the heart of the vineyard. On a daily basis, they work hand in hand with more than 5,000 member winegrowers, in the elaboration, distribution and marketing of champagne wine.
