✨ Technical Specifications
Nicolas Feuillatte, founded in 1976 by its visionary namesake, brought a modern, jet-set sensibility to the ancient traditions of Champagne. This Grand Cru Blanc de Noirs is a majestic expression of 100% Pinot Noir sourced exclusively from the prestigious Grand Cru villages of the Montagne de Reims, such as Verzenay and Bouzy. In these historic vineyards, the deep chalk soils impart a structural tension and profound minerality to the naturally robust, red-fruit character of the grape. Crafted only in exceptional years, the wine undergoes extended cellar aging on its lees, developing complex layers of toasted brioche, baked plum, and subtle spice, while retaining a vibrant, precise acidity that reflects its noble origins.
🍾 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.
