✨ wine.spec_sheet
Nicolas Feuillatte, established by its visionary namesake in 1976, represents a modern triumph in Champagne. The Cuvee Speciale Millesime is a celebration of a single outstanding harvest, blending Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Meunier sourced from a diverse mosaic of crus across the region. Rooted in Champagne's iconic chalky soils, this vintage expression undergoes extended cellar aging on its lees for at least five years. This patient maturation coaxes out complex aromas of toasted brioche, honeyed citrus, and ripe orchard fruits, balanced by a vibrant, mineral-driven acidity that honors the legacy of the house's jet-setting founder.
