Nicolas Feuillatte's Brut Millésimé is a masterful expression of a single harvest, crafted only in years of exceptional quality. Established in 1976 by the charismatic Nicolas Feuillatte—who transitioned from a successful coffee importer in New York to a Champagne icon befriending the likes of Jackie Kennedy and Lauren Bacall—the house brings a modern, cosmopolitan spirit to traditional winemaking. This vintage cuvée is typically a harmonious blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Meunier, sourced from a diverse selection of Crus that showcase the region's classic chalk and limestone soils. Aged on its lees for a minimum of five years, far exceeding the legal requirement, it develops a complex profile characterized by ripe stone fruits, toasted brioche, and a refined, creamy effervescence that captures the unique signature of its harvest year.
