✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted exclusively from 100% Chardonnay, the Nicolas Feuillatte Blanc de Blancs is a luminous tribute to the chalk-rich terroirs of Champagne, particularly the esteemed Côte des Blancs. The house itself was founded in the 1970s by the charismatic jet-setter Nicolas Feuillatte, whose glamorous circle of friends—including Jackie Kennedy and Lauren Bacall—helped propel the brand to international fame. This cuvée captures the ethereal elegance of Chardonnay, undergoing traditional secondary fermentation in the bottle followed by years of patient aging on its lees. The result is a refined sparkling wine defined by its vibrant minerality, crystalline acidity, and delicate aromas of white spring flowers, fresh citrus, and toasted brioche, reflecting the pure, chalky soils of its origin.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1976 by entrepreneur Nicolas Feuillatte and subsequent union with Henri Macquart’s Centre Vinicole de la Champagne, Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte has become the largest union of winegrowers in the appellation and the leading brand across France. Headquartered in Chouilly on the edge of the Côte des Blancs, the collective draws from over 2,100 hectares across the Marne Valley, Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs, and Côte des Bar, encompassing more than 80 cooperatives, 11 Grands Crus, and 26 Premiers Crus. Terroirs vary from Belemnite chalk in the central hillsides to sedimentary limestone, marl, and Kimmeridgian clay in the southern reaches. Under the stewardship of Chief Winemaker Guillaume Roffiaen, the cooperative actively champions Sustainable Viticulture in Champagne (VDC) and Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE). Winemaking emphasizes precision, purity of fruit, and vibrant freshness achieved via temperature-controlled stainless steel vinification and meticulous parcel blending, punctuated by benchmarks such as the benchmark Réserve Exclusive Brut and the vintage prestige cuvée Palmes d'Or.
