The Champagne Brut Millesimato by Nicolas Feuillatte is a great Millesimato and represents one of the best excellences of this great Maison in Chouilly. It is a traditional cuvée made with the three classic grapes of Champagne: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier, sourced from a careful selection of the best vineyards of the estate. The long aging on the lees contributes to giving the wine remarkable tertiary evolution notes of notable complexity and persistence. Precisely for these extraordinary characteristics, it is a Champagne with a gastronomic vocation, to be enjoyed at the table with seafood menus featuring important and flavorful dishes or with white meats, particularly noble roasted and spit-roasted poultry.
This Champagne Brut originates from a reality that has established itself among the most important players in the territory within a few decades. The Nicolas Feuillatte brand represents a large cooperative that manages 2250 hectares of vineyards, divided into many parcels, mostly classified Premier and Grand Cru. The strength of the maison is based on precisely on the possibility of choosing the best grapes from different areas of the region and thus being able to produce wines of extraordinary balance and complexity. The cuvée is made in equal parts from Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier harvested from carefully selected vineyards among the absolute best in the territory. At the end of the soft pressing of the grapes, separate vinification is carried out by grape variety and individual parcel. The base wines rest for a few months before being blended. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the rules of the Méthode Champenoise, with a period of aging on the lees of at least 5 years.
The Champagne Brut of Maison Nicolas Feuillatte is a cuvée dedicated to enthusiasts of Millesimés, who wish to discover the unique and unrepeatable character of a single vintage. In appearance, it presents a bright light yellow color with slight golden hues. The perlage, very fine and persistent, brings elegant aromas of candied citrus peel, dried fruit, pain grillé, salted caramel,
