✨ Technical Specifications
Nicolas Feuillatte's Chouilly Grand Cru is a prestigious Blanc de Blancs that pays homage to the very heart of the house, as Chouilly is home to their iconic estate headquarters. Sourced entirely from the chalk-rich soils of this northernmost Grand Cru village in the Cote des Blancs, this 100% Chardonnay Champagne showcases the distinctively generous and approachable character of Chouilly terroir. Unlike the austere, razor-sharp profile of some neighboring villages, Chouilly produces Chardonnays of remarkable roundness, fleshiness, and elegant silkiness. Crafted using the traditional method with extended aging on the lees, this cuvee captures a beautiful harmony of fresh citrus, white peach, toasted brioche, and a delicate, chalky minerality that reflects its historic terroir.
